“Sonnet of Rulers
The only people who'll rule the world,
Are the ones who want to rule not a being.
The only people to inherit the earth,
Are the ones who want to inherit nothing.
The only people who win hearts,
Are those who give all without question.
The only people who become family to all,
Are those who walk without assumption.
The only people who never die,
Are those who happily die for others.
The only people who are the happiest,
Are those who have no trace of selfish desires.
Selfishness is synonym for suffering and misery.
Joy is just a byproduct of service to humanity.”

“Sonnet of Intolerance
Intolerance and religion don't go together,
If they do, you are a far cry from being religious.
Intolerance and science don't go together,
If they do, such science is just modern hogwash.
Intolerance and philosophy don't go together,
If they do, you are a dickhearted intellectualist.
Intolerance and humanism don't go together,
If they do, you are a far cry from being humanist.
Intolerance and intellect don't go together,
If they do, such intellect is all blade, no handle.
Intolerance and wisdom don't go together,
If they do, you are but a sophisticated vandal.
Anything that is civilized helps abolish intolerance,
If it doesn't, it is yet another prehistoric nuisance.”

“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.”

“I must strive to remain rational. For surely reason, and reason alone, is the faculty which divides us from the lower beasts of this earth, who grunt and crawl about on all fours; it is the capacity that ennobles the human spirit above all others, if the human spirit is indeed a thing that can be ennobled - a supposition that I have of late been given copious cause to doubt. Yet still I find that I must trumpet the cause of reason, reason, human reason, above all else - if only because it was no brief time ago that I found myself bereft of its beneficence, reduced to a naked, howling, gibbering thing upon which I shudder to reflect.”

“I Write to Destroy You (The Sonnet)
I don’t write to pamper your ego,
I don't write to give you comfort.
I don't write to teach you self-love,
I write to destroy all selfish thought.
I don't write to inspire your pride,
I don't write to cater to your insecurity.
I don't write to entertain shallowness,
I only write to abolish self-centricity.
I don't write to tickle the instaslaves,
I don't write to peddle false perfection.
I don't write to lick the privileged boots,
I write to make soldiers of self-annihilation.
My science and my art were born on the street.
That's where I learnt, all suffering is born of greed.”

“New Melody (The Sonnet)
What is this new melody,
That I hear on my guitar!
What is this new tune,
That makes squabbles disappear!
What is this new serenade,
Calling upon a headstrong wind!
Whose are the footsteps I hear,
With such vigor yet gentle and kind!
Amidst the cacophony of cockiness,
What is this heartbeat of sacrifice!
Amidst the drumbeats of individualism,
What is this new desire to universalize!
What is this new voice of sanity I hear!
It is you and me, the branded blasphemer.”

“I Want The Golden World (The Sonnet)
No matter what you say,
I want the golden world.
To hell with the sayers of nay,
I keep working without reward.
You may have your comfort,
Enjoy all your luxuries futile.
For me there's no other joy,
Like making someone smile.
All you do is take and take,
Yet I have nothing against thee.
Just remember that one day,
You shall die of obesity.
Vegetables can mock all they want.
I shall die building the golden world.”

“Against Nothing (The Sonnet)
I am not against consumerism,

I am not against fame and fortune,
I am not against celebrity.
I am not against entrepreneurship,
I am not against technology.
