“World War II was fought for the abolition of racial exclusiveness, equality of nations and the integrity of their territories, liberation of enslaved nations and restoration of their sovereign rights, the right of every nation to arrange its affairs as it wishes, economic aid to nations that have suffered and assistance to them in attaining their material welfare, restoration of democratic liberties, and destruction of the Hitlerite regime.”
“World War II was really unusual, because America was in the Great Depression before. So the war did help the US economy to get securely out of this decline.

This would have led to future productivity increases.”

“World War Naskar (Sonnet 2699-2700)
You've had generations of ape scholars selling the cannibals of Europe as saviors of the world, now watch one Naskar and his Earth Soldiers bring down your entire industrial complex of conversion, cleansing, and holy cockery, without lifting a single weapon!
By the time I'm finished, descendants of even the staunchest supremacist will be engulfed with tolerance madness - by the time I'm finished, each human with the slightest inclusive spark will be mutated into a full-blown multicultural seismic cataclysm.
You spent centuries manufacturing lies as law, prejudice as policy, cleansing as civilizing, now watch one Naskar and his ablaze soldiers establish the first proper Human Civilization, with no one dominant culture, no one supreme religion, no majority, no minority, no privileged, no marginalized - where all streams inhabit the human veins, not as oil and water, but as one lifeblood, enhancing consciousness into completeness.”

“World War Peace (The Sonnet)
The same paradigm that produces
soldiers, produces terrorists.
In fact, soldiers are just
government approved terrorists.
Till the military is the most
dishonorable profession on earth,
you can forget about world peace,
forget about peaceful coexistence.
Military are the real terrorists,
regular terrorists are the byproducts,
all manufactured by state leaders,
sponsored by jungle civilians.
Love of country is the root of all war,
Every patriot is a potential terrorist.
Learn to love the world as one country,
The paradigm will shift from war to peace.”

“World Without 9/11 (The Sonnet)
Better a kindhearted fool than a heartless tool,
Kindness is born when we aren't afraid of burning.
Coldness looks appealing on nuts and bolts,
On human beings it is absolutely unbecoming.
A world without 9/11 and January 6,
Begins with a heart without hate.
Cultural and racial profiling don't ensure security,
True security is born when we act as love incarnate.
The helpless, forgotten, discriminated and destitute,
Are my brothers and sisters, and I won't stop,
Till I lift them up to take their rightful place,
Upon the fabric of society, with my last blood drop.
Each and every breath of mine is public property.
Once I die for the people, then I can live in serenity.”

His natural local pride will know limitless expansion; he will be in touch with creative universal currents.”
