“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 49 Vegetables have destiny, Humans have responsibility. Vermin have luxury, Humans have simplicity. Nightcrawlers have insecurity, Humans have dignity. Bedbugs have stability, Humans have community. Donkeys have self-love, Humans have self-annihilation. Horses have competition, Humans have revolution. Fancy castles of glass belong in fairy-story. No time to rest, we have too much duty.”

“Sonnet of Superpowers Poet's superpower is their pain, Philosopher's superpower is reason. Scientist's superpower is their brain, Artist's superpower is their vision. Janitor's superpower is cleanliness, Hooker's superpower is practical piety. Bartender's superpower is resilience, Teacher's superpower is curiosity. Entrepreneur's superpower is stubbornness, Engineer's superpower is "unsliding caliber". Copper's superpower oughta be unbent backbone, Astronaut's superpower is conquest of fear. Humankind's superpower is diversity. Life's superpower is plasticity.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 20 Who’s the saint, who’s the tyrant, Is not determined by the show of strength. Real mark of human character, Lies in your gentleness radiant. The strongest souls on earth, Keep their strength hidden unless needed, Whereas the shallow and the entitled, Walk around trotting over the hearts of the helpless. Turning the other cheek to the oppressor, May work in a world of fairies. In our primitive world of organic apes, Turning the other cheek means aiding inhumanities. Love is the only answer, there is no question, But it is a lover's duty to stand up to oppression.”

“Lover off The Street (A Sonnet) Beauty and bliss are all around, When my feet walk alongside yours. Life reaches the pinnacle of being, When I'm annihilated for a smile of yours. Climbed plenty hills, trotted plenty jungle, Nowhere did I find a drop of sanity. Then I stood crazy before your radiance, And I got drenched in beams of serenity. I am but a naïve lover off the street, Without a single trace of intellect. The only thing that I've learnt in life is, In your happiness lies my upliftment. Business is measured by how much we receive, Life is realized when we stand hellbent to give.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 25 Wanna know about people's character? Walk around in shabby clothes. Wanna know who's wise, who's egotistical? Be the dumbest despite your brainforce. Never try to impress people. The more you try, the more they lose interest. Nourish your warmth and kindness instead, Those who care will reach out themselves. But always remember one little thing, You can either have life or calculation. Calculate where it's needed, But not in every situation. Lovers and soldiers are the only ones living, Rest of society is just dehydrating.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 54 It is human nature to shed tears in agony, But taking pain to wipe another's tear is humanity. It's human nature to be sad at the loss of something, But giving up all to lift another is humanity. It is human nature to reply harm with more harm, But to stand unbending without violence is humanity. It is human nature to reply argument with argument, But knowing when to lose an argument is humanity. It is human nature to win by dragging others down, But defying competition to live a purpose is humanity. It is human nature to blame disparity on politicians, But to step up ensuring equity in one's area is humanity. Just because it’s human nature, doesn't make it civilized. We shall be civilized when we are no longer hypnotized.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 46 Love is in everybody, Not everybody is in love. Power is in everybody, Not everybody can power-up. Everybody loves beautiful clothes, Few care for heart's beauty. Everybody is obsessed with liberty, Few can bear the responsibility. Everybody lives amidst the collective, Only few practice collectivism. Everybody talks about the world, Not everybody has the world in them. Poor is not the one whose pocket is empty, But the one whose heart lacks comity.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 53 If you call me liberal, You have understood nothing. If you call me conservative, You have understood nothing. If you call me religious, You have understood nothing. If you call me atheist, You have understood nothing. If you call me communist, You have understood nothing. If you call me capitalist, You have understood nothing. You’ll never find me in your fancy ideology, You'll know me by taking pain to wipe another's agony.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 32 Some people still say, Women belong in the kitchen. By that same logic, Men belong in the jungle. Traditions of yesterday Cannot be the standard for today, Ethics and logic of primitives, Cannot be the measure of civilized way. Each generation must find themselves, They must rewrite their own code. Better to die in the course of ascension, Than to survive in hypnotized mode. Cut off all allegiance to the dead and dark, As new humans build your own moral arc.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 80 Why do we take breath, Is it to stay alive! Why do we eat bread, Is it to stay alive! Why do we drink water, Is it to stay alive! Why do we take naps, Is it to stay alive! Why do we look to mate, Is it to stay alive! Why do we have me time, Is it to stay alive! These just keep the body alive, nothing else. The mind is alive when it lives beyond the self.”

“Sonnet of Charity Charity doesn't end disparity, It only postpones it. Giving doesn't mean only giving, It means lifting the fallen spirit. With one hand help those in need, With another treat their environment. Don't just give money to the destitute, Lift them up so they could help themselves. The greatest charity in the world, Is to help someone become self-reliant, So that they do not need charity, From anyone ever again. Purpose of charity is not to build a world of charity, Purpose of charity is to end the need for charity.”

“Sonnet of Blood and Water Blood may be thicker than water, But water is far greater than blood. Blood may discriminate between people, Water saves all without a single word. Even while helping the wounded, Blood discriminates both in mind and medicine. But to put out the fire of someone's thirst, Water doesn't care about a single thing. Now tell me which one deserves all the glory, Tell me which one is greater, Is it blood that's prejudiced all the time, Or is it the life-giving water? All care for blood and family first, Few can make a family out of the world.”

“Home Country (The Sonnet) If immigrants ain't real Americans, Neither is our revered Lady Liberty. She too came from a distant land, Yet today she is the American epitome. If even this doesn't broaden your heart, What about the founders of our history! All of them were textbook immigrants, What white supremacists cuss as refugee. Any land that holds potential for ascension, Draws the repressed souls of humanity. Though I belong to the whole wide world, Land of Lady Liberty is my home country. A nation's character isn't defined by rigidity, It is defined by a hearty unity in diversity.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 63 What are we without principles, Nothing but a bag of animal flesh. What are we without reason, Nothing but tradition's infectious abscess. What are we without warmth, Nothing but insects chasing self-centricity. What are we without collectivity, Nothing but mechanics of monstrosity. What are we without humility, Nothing but a bunch of smart nimrods. What are we without moderation, Nothing but poisonous arthropods. Higher the sentience, greater the responsibility, A mind oblivious to this, is oblivious to humanity.”

“Sonnet Krantistani To hell with fear, To hell with insecurity! Stand up with conviction, To hell with serenity! Enough with pretend revolution, Enough with jungly aum shanti! For once in your life grow up o soldier, Breaking all biases become krantistani. Your footsteps will strike terror in terrorists, Your voice will give chills to the divisionists. Turn your existence into a beacon of help, Possess this world with acts of love and uplift. Killing terrorists and tyrants don't end inhumanity. Oust them all, then irrigate the soil with solidarity. (Krantistani: Citizen of Revolution, Aum Shanti: Archaic Peace Chant)”

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 41 Don't worship your past, At the expense of your present. Don't glorify the future, At the expense of the present. Don't worship the dead, At the expense of the living. Don't admire the unborn, While overlooking the living. It's only by lifting the living that, We build a better world for all progeny. It's only by being kind to the living, That we truly honor our ancestry. Honor is earned not begged for. Honor the living, ‘n all time will be grateful.”
