“The religious right sees every group trying to achieve equality with them as a threat, because if they become equal to them, THEY won't be able to abuse their human rights anymore. Giving other people equality WITH THEM, in their minds takes something away from THEM - POWER - and that TERRIFIES them. It scares them shitless.”

“There is a video online that shows the brutality of this crime How a Serbian Orthodox priest blessed them to show support These Serbs were so confident that Chetniks would win the war They thought that they would never see the inside of a court The cameraman of the Scorpions massacre video was disappointed Because the camera’s battery was almost out Can you imagine the level of evil that lived inside them? This is why good people have to fight against such scum”

“Animal' is a category that we shove certain bodies into when we want to justify violence against them, which is why animal liberation should concern all who are minoritized. As long as animals are oppressed, as long as 'animal' means something degrading, we will never be set free.”

“Hola, Soy GORA (The Sonnet) Hermanas y hermanos, hola, soy GORA, Guerrero, Observador, Reformador, Amante. Thus speaks the human practicing humanity, Despite all agony, no retrocedas oh valiente! To the helpless, destitute and discriminated, I am but a nameless servant most humble. To lift the fallen and make them self-reliant, Is the purpose of my life, straight and simple. Beware o peddlers of hate and bigotry, Get hold of your prejudice and hysteria! When calm, reformist mind brings light, When enraged, it is the fabled chupacabra! Each conscientious being is reform incarnate. From your humane struggle never you deviate.”

“They give us more freedom and more rights, but take away our choices or preferences. You can't say this or you can't do that, but you are free and have rights to do whatever you want, They say. They are putting red tapes everywhere ,to channel and controlling us on what to believe, what to think, what to say and on what to do. They want us to think we are , while we are not.”

“It’s not our place to judge the guilt or innocence of the prisoners, Nurse Webster. The sooner you learn that the better. Any other approach just leads to conflicts of duty and undermines the smooth running of the institution. We are here to ensure that the prisoners are dealt with firmly and professionally. It’s up to their lawyers to handle matters pertaining to their sentences.”

“Visvabiotic (The Sonnet) Human is bandaid to human burn, Human is ointment to human yearn. Human is morning to human mourn, Human is cure born of human churn. Human is Altair to human Vega, Human is aloe to human vera. Human is pilgrim to human mecca, Human, Poly-B to social septicemia. There is no fancy heaven, only a good fervent human. There is no book of god, only a brave godly person. Human is piety to prejudice barbaric. To all inhuman hate, Human Visvabiotic.”

“Citizen is The Leader (Sonnet) I have made a few amendments in my own canon, I don't mean going back and removing passages, as if they never existed, for that's deception, rather I point out my errors myself, so you know, I ain't infallible, on occasion I have been wrong. My main two mistakes were with America 'n soldiers, I looked upon both with respect in my early years, until it dawned on me, America is a terrorist state, and all soldiers are mere puppets to warmongers. All governments are a facade, all politicians are merely actors. In a civilized world citizen is the leader, obsolete is the profession of world leaders. In a civilized world I could spend my days writing mushy poetry, sparing the headache of human rights. But alas, that is not the case, hence, I'm restless, sleepless, vacationless, in kindling the human light.”

“The intellectual idiots don't understand anything simple, unless it is presented in their savage ism-istic fashion. That's why I coined the term "gentalist" in my last work - to refer to the individuals with an insurmountable concern for people over isms - over all sorts of sectarianism. To put it simply, a gentalist is just a plain human whose foremost priority is to be human, above all cultural, political, religious, intellectual and ideological barbarism. In fact, every gentalist is a human, but not every human is a gentalist.”

“Final Human (The Sonnet) Only animal I'm afraid of is myself, When I'm scared, I lose control. I am the height of violence extreme, Kept tamed by conscience whole. I am the maker of all law and order, I decide what's right, what's wrong. I am a grenade waiting to go off, At the sight of humanity done wrong. To the helpless I'm humility incarnate, To the discriminated I'm love unbound. To all intolerance I am judgment day, To paranoid hate I'm piety paramount. If I don't bulldoze your castles of prejudice, Abhijit Vicdansaadet Naskar is not my name. Till the last ounce of hate is obliterated, The final human will emerge time and again.”

“Be Unrealistic (The Sonnet) Be unrealistic and work for a world, That the society considers nonsense. Once upon a time taming fire was unreal, Then arose a bunch of brave sentience. Today's madness is tomorrow's sanity, If we’re mad enough to stand solo on guard. Today's sacrifice is tomorrow's civilization, If we can give all without hoping reward. If only one person dies for the cause, A hundred people realize their humanity. I may die today in the line of duty, But the struggle continues through eternity. So let us be brave and go beyond reality. Let us be accountable and do the necessary.”

“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.”
