“Why I am Human (The Sonnet) Some explain why they are catholic, Some explain why they are atheist, Some explain why they are muslim, Some explain why they are socialist. Some explain why they are jew, Some explain why they are buddhist, Some explain why they are hindu, Some explain why they are humanist. I heard plenty people explain, Why they are what they are, But I'm yet to hear one person say, First I am human, all else later. What is this mad obsession with all the ism! Why can't we be just human, plain and simple!”

“Virtue No Ism (The Sonnet) What is this obsession with ism before human! Why are we still catering to ancestral stupidity! Are we really gonna let their shortsightedness, To define our capacity, character and destiny! Some of them might have had the vision of unity, Hence they spoke of peace and neighborly love. But most lacked the sight to live beyond ism, And we continue to prioritize ism over love. No ideology has a monopoly over virtue, Virtues are born of mind, not ideology. Yet all ideologies try to codify virtue, By doing so they only vilify all virtuosity. All virtues are but the descendants of love. To codify virtue is to ruin the universality of love.”
