“Who is Miracle Human (The Sonnet)
Who is the miracle human,
Can they turn water into wine?
Do they never run out of bread,
Can they turn cotton into golden twine?
None of this is actually miracle,
All these are stories of fantasy.
When ignorance was default thinking,
Magic defined a person's capacity.
Real miracle is an act of kindness,
Nothing is higher and more divine.
When you share happily your last bread,
That is holiness most genuine.
Rise and conquer all old prejudice and fantasy.
Stand firm and foster the miracle humanity.”
