“Posh Yet Potty (The Sonnet) One can be posh on the outside yet potty on the inside. More often than less both of these go hand in hand. Pedigree, personality, position, all are deemed important. Amidst this royal mess of things we forget to be human. We look at partisan loyalty, we look at intellectual fluency, And in the process of analysis we end up a freudian chasm. In order to find whether someone belongs in our camp, We act less of a human and more of a lifeless algorithm. It's okay if you don't know how to use spoon and fork. What matters is, to reach out and feed an empty stomach. It's okay if you don't know much fancy words and facts. What matters is, your heart beats beyond the factual muck. So, shitty or not we look on the outside, let's pay no attention, Instead let us muster all spirit towards internal ascension.”

“Facts and Belief (The Sonnet) No belief is worth losing your humanity over, No intellect is worth losing your kindness over. Facts, faith, reason, religion all come later, First and foremost we must humanize our behavior. If a belief or intellect makes you a better person, More power to your belief or intellect I say. But if they become a hindrance to your humanity, Throw it immediately like poison far, far away. Beliefs have cast shadows of wars throughout history, Facts have provided weapons for those wars. Then again beliefs have taught us to love our neighbor, Facts have helped us fight calamity and disorders. Let all beliefs and facts be guided by a warm heart. Warmth alone will make our world fit for human birth.”
