“Buddhas, Christs and Mevlanas don't live in caves, they walk amongst you. You know why? Because we cannot change the world from the sidelines. You may play the make believe of nonattachment all you want - and it may bring you personal comfort for the time being, but it doesn't alleviate human suffering from the world one bit. The enlightenment bit is a small part of the equation. How you live afterwards determines the true worth of that enlightenment. If your idea of enlightenment revolves around some prehistoric routine of sitting and chanting, or crouching and praying, then such enlightenment is no enlightenment, but derangement.”

“Citizen is The Leader (Sonnet) I have made a few amendments in my own canon, I don't mean going back and removing passages, as if they never existed, for that's deception, rather I point out my errors myself, so you know, I ain't infallible, on occasion I have been wrong. My main two mistakes were with America 'n soldiers, I looked upon both with respect in my early years, until it dawned on me, America is a terrorist state, and all soldiers are mere puppets to warmongers. All governments are a facade, all politicians are merely actors. In a civilized world citizen is the leader, obsolete is the profession of world leaders. In a civilized world I could spend my days writing mushy poetry, sparing the headache of human rights. But alas, that is not the case, hence, I'm restless, sleepless, vacationless, in kindling the human light.”

“The intellectual idiots don't understand anything simple, unless it is presented in their savage ism-istic fashion. That's why I coined the term "gentalist" in my last work - to refer to the individuals with an insurmountable concern for people over isms - over all sorts of sectarianism. To put it simply, a gentalist is just a plain human whose foremost priority is to be human, above all cultural, political, religious, intellectual and ideological barbarism. In fact, every gentalist is a human, but not every human is a gentalist.”
