Gathering fuel in vacant lots.”

“I am Multiculturalism (The Sonnet)
I don't write on multiculturalism,
I am multiculturalism.
The only nationalism I care about,
is tribalism ending multinationalism.
I can't do it no more - I can't!
One little language is enough no more!
I gotta be the Himalayas in every language,
I gotta be the Himalayas in every culture.
Either you'll know me as a national hero
of every nation, or you won't know me at all.
So long as a single human calls me foreigner,
I'll conclude, I've achieved nothing at all.”
