“Rx for Fascism (Sonnet)
Gaza is not for sale,
Greenland is not for sale,
Ukraine is not for sale,
Canada is not for sale.
Planet Earth is not real estate,
to pander to your predatory psychopathy.
If you are so hard up for cash, we can all
chip in to buy you some good ol shock therapy.
When someone plays fast and loose with rights
and freedom, their place is either in the jungle
or in a mental institution, not in office.
Fascism, fundamentalism and nationalism,
these are the ultimate mental illness.”

“Acts of terror by governments
are still terror all the same,
genocide wrapped in diplomacy
is just murder by another name.”

“Justice is not a hashtag (The Sonnet)
Using a hashtag doesn't make you an activist,
Social media trend is not herald of social justice.
Justice comes when each lives with accountability,
Not when you play pretend justice because it is trendy.
A true activist spends their life working for others,
Occasionally they indulge in some self-charging activity.
Insta-activists spend their life drooling for attention,
Humanitarian crisis is just an opportunity for publicity.
Human rights violation is just a hashtag for most,
So they keep up with the trend by voicing phony endorsement.
Once the trend fades 99 percent of those voices disappear,
Until the next crisis comes, and the vultures hover again.
Violation of human rights is only violation if it is trending.
Society that measures social justice by social media trend,
is nothing but a bunch of hypocritical, bottom-licking ding-a-ling.”

“The constitutional right of today may be a violation of human rights tomorrow, hence, no constitution, and in fact, no text is to be taken as gospel… they must be scrutinized by each new generation and if found incompatible with the new society, must be either amended or discarded altogether.”

hiding behind menorah, saffron or crucifix,

“Uncomfortable Illumination (The Sonnet)
Barbarism, thy name is Britain.
Racism, thy name is America.
Regress, thy name is Turkey.
Intolerance, thy name is India.
Superstition, thy name is East Europe.
Megalomania, thy name is Russia.
Snobbery, thy name is West Europe.
Shallowness, thy name is South Korea.
Only "humans" living in these lands,
Will realize the truth in these words.
Whereas the practitioners of prejudice,
Will blow steam out of their ears.
Ignorance, thy name is Sapiens.
Illumination begins with illness acknowledgment.”

“Love who you like,
Wear what you like.
Have kids when you like,
Above all, live as you like.
Only thing that matters is that,
You don't fan the flames of hurt.
The only gospel of life is that,
There is no other gospel but love.”

“Sonnet of Palestine
I don't want to wage a war,
All I want is to raise a family.
I don’t want your empty pity,
All I seek is a little humanity.
To call genocide as self-defense,
May be textbook diplomacy.
Killing innocents to keep control,
Is an act of terrorist hypocrisy.
Brokers may bring ceasefire,
But they can never give us liberty.
All they do is arrange assemblies,
While we suffer through the century.
So I say to you o people in luxury,
Look at us and you'll know your fallacy.”

“Memo to The States of Earth
All through time, the conquerors have been writing history. But no more! The conquerors are no longer the supreme emperor of the narrative, even if all the spineless governments take their side. Because guess what - society is no longer a property of the state. You ask us to vaccinate, we shall vaccinate - you ask us to follow traffic rules, we shall follow traffic rules - you ask us to file our taxes, we shall file our taxes - because that's the civilized thing to do. But if you ask us to support your rich moron of a friend in his exploits of conquest and domination, you shall not have a government to begin with. Remember that.”

“Sonnet of Occupation
With just weeks of lockdown,
You all feel restless and bland.
That is how everyday life is,
For people in occupied land.
Imagine living your whole life,
Subject to restriction and suspicion.
Ask a Palestinian or a Kashmiri,
They'll reveal the face of occupation.
Life, liberty and happiness,
Are the rights of every being.
Whenever a government violates them,
Civilized humanity must intervene.
I call to all humans far and near,
Rest not till statehood is declared.”

“Terrorists don't walk around carrying guns and grenades any more, except for the confederate nitwits and religious blockheads that is. Today's terrorists walk amongst us, perfectly indistinguishable, with a fancy outside and a filthy inside. And here's my word to these violators of human rights.
I'm a billionaire, I'm a politician, I'm a bureaucrat, I'm a diplomat - if you so much as dream of exploiting people thinking such filth, mark the words of this gentalist eternal - it'll take me two shakes of a lamb's tail to wipe you out from the fabric of time. But I won't. No matter what, I'll defend the people, and still spare your life. You know why? Because, a terrorist is defined by how they treat the innocent, a reformist is defined by how they treat the terrorist. So mend your ways my child, because if you are terror, I am your grandfather.”

“The Gentalist Sonnet
I only ask one thing of my soldier – everything!
Give up all, so that those with nothing receive life.
What can I give to thee, except for this life of mine,
Says the brave gentalist across all personal strife.
Gente means people, and people are the music of life.
Love the people, lift the people, people are the way.
Not your people, not my people, it's all one people.
Once you feel it in your bones, uplift is on its way.
I don't believe in a messiah, I don't believe in a god,
‘Cause I’m far too accountable for my society, my world.
Thus speaks the gentalist, burning with a sense of duty,
Thus speaks the living aid, who ain’t no mythical lord.
If a chunk of alum can purify a bucket of putrid water,
Your heart can purify the world with its gentalist power.”

“My Golden Earth (The Sonnet)
O my golden earth,
I am but your stupid lover.
The flute of your dazzling fragrance,
Makes my agonies disappear.
Whenever your sky is cloudy,
My heart drowns in drought.
Whenever your oceans quiver,
With tears my eyes get fraught.
Whenever you giggle in prosperity,
It pours honey into my ears.
Whenever you shine with festivals,
Light and love erase my historic fears.
You are my home o my golden earth.
All your children are my sisters and brothers.”

“Qatar & The West (The Sonnet)
All of a sudden the entire west is peeved at Qatar,
Because only the west has exclusive rights to exposure.
All of a sudden we care about the migrant workers,
The Afghans, Palestinians and Kashmiris no longer matter.
Human rights issue here is, we don't care about human rights,
We only care about filling the air with hypocrisy and mania.
Our poster boy just dumped half his new workforce as garbage,
We buy Oscar, ditch Batgirl, and we diss Qatar for buying FIFA!
We are just peeved that the Arabs are showing off for a change,
Sure it's unacceptable, since showing off is a western tradition.
Yes, it's true that the Middle East reeks with human rights issues,
But it is also teeming with passion beyond western comprehension.
If you really care about human rights stick to a cause for more than a fortnight.
Otherwise keep your trap shut, lest you open and be proved a privileged white.”

“Reclaim The Planet (The Sonnet)
Monsters spread their tentacles,
Because the masters are asleep.
Puny hyenas rule the world,
When the tigers are asleep.
Enough with pleading, to hell with decency!
Monsters only understand the language of roar.
When the predator comes to feast on your family,
Will you happily make way for them to pleasure more?
Doesn't the thought boil your blood – good, it should!
It means that your backbone is still alive.
Now turn all your attention on your every pore,
Feel through your veins the surge of might.
No more pleading,
no more begging to be treated as humans!
It's time for the humans to reclaim the planet
from the inhumans!”

Rise, revolt and roar out loud,
No more pleading in front of prejudice!

No more bearing in front of malice!
Dream, dare and dance out loud,
No more dangling as docile doormat!
Heave, hold and help out loud,
No more retreat in front of cold updraught!
Fall, fix and forge out loud,
No more settling as the forgotten figures!
Grow, glow, and break out loud,
No more groveling at the feet of bloodsuckers!
Only antidote to oppression is civilian unsubmission.
When the children go astray, it’s time for parental intervention.”
