“Everybody has imaginary friends,
My imaginary friend is my late teacher,
And I find it therapeutic to talk to him,
Whenever I hit rock bottom during disaster.
Quite like air, water and food,
It's something we humans need to survive.
Last thing this world needs is more war
to prove whose imaginary friend
bears the greatest of might.”

“Chrismadan (The Sonnet)
What happens when two ancient cultures come together!
They create a spectacular specimen called dervish advaitin.
When mistletoe and menorrah combine, heart shines brighter,
Beyond belief 'n disbelief, there's a land most enlightening.
Keep your outdated sectarian identities to yourself,
I am Jewistian, Hinduslim, or simply Human Universal.
Be the next civilized step of humankind's evolution,
Not just another savage vessel of mistakes ancestral.
Revitalized by Ramadan, humanized by Christmas,
Let's celebrate Chrismadan, as well as Hanukkawali.
Instead of carrying on as second-hand savages,
Habibi come, let us start living with humanity!
When all religions combine, a modern human is born.
Without integration there is no dawn, just endless mourn.”

“Why I am Human (The Sonnet)
Some explain why they are catholic,
Some explain why they are atheist,
Some explain why they are muslim,
Some explain why they are socialist.
Some explain why they are jew,
Some explain why they are buddhist,
Some explain why they are hindu,
Some explain why they are humanist.
I heard plenty people explain,
Why they are what they are,
But I'm yet to hear one person say,
First I am human, all else later.
What is this mad obsession with all the ism!
Why can't we be just human, plain and simple!”

“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.”

“Lives to serve before I sleep,
Service is my salvation.

Selfless joy brings illumination.

Walls are too savage a burden.
Tears to wipe before I sleep,
In human smile lies human heaven.”

“And while the cruelties of the white man toward the black man are among the heaviest counts of the indictment against humanity, colour prejudice is not our original fault, but only one aspect of the atrophy of the imagination that prevents us from seeing ourselves in every creature that breathes under the sun.”

“Attitude Is Everything
We live in a culture that is blind to betrayal and intolerant of emotional pain. In New Age crowds here on the West Coast, where your attitude is considered the sole determinant of the impact an event has on you, it gets even worse.In these New Thought circles, no matter what happens to you, it is assumed that you have created your own reality. Not only have you chosen the event, no matter how horrible, for your personal growth. You also chose how you interpret what happened—as if there are no interpersonal facts, only interpretations.
The upshot of this perspective is that your suffering would vanish if only you adopted a more evolved perspective and stopped feeling aggrieved. I was often kindly reminded (and believed it myself), “there are no victims.” How can you be a victim when you are responsible for your circumstances?
When you most need validation and support to get through the worst pain of your life, to be confronted with the well-meaning, but quasi-religious fervor of these insidious half-truths can be deeply demoralizing. This kind of advice feeds guilt and shame, inhibits grieving, encourages grandiosity and can drive you to be alone to shield your vulnerability.”

“I am the warfare (A Very Naskar Sonnet, 2698)
My brain is the planet's largest organic
manufacturing plant of multiculturalism,
so don't, I beg you, don't trigger me too much,
because once the hate crosses my threshold,
I won't hate you back, instead, I will inject
your language, your culture into my bloodstream,
and pour out literature at such a vast scale,
that before you know it, your offspring will
be studying my canon as their native heritage -
my human-centric divinity will be their divinity,
my life-centric culture will be their culture,
my service-centric science will be their science,
my earth-centric existence will be their existence.
I am the warfare, and the rewriting of civilization
started decades ago, when I made slave
out of the most tyrant language on earth.
Show me love, I'll respond with a quiet smile -
throw me hate, I'll metabolize it and rewrite your history.”

“Yabancı Yarim (Sonnet 2701)
Yabancı olarak doğmak ayıp değil, ama
yabancı olarak ölmek en büyük lanettir.
To be born as foreigner is normal,
but to die as foreigner is animal.
To salute the flag is just
as animal as burning a flag,
to obey the scripture blind is just
as savage as burning a scripture.
Delegational democracy is just
as undignified as autocracy,
blind abidance of law is just
as primitive as anarchy.
I look after the world as family,
so the world may look after my family,
when I'm not there - that's the kind of
blind faith that actually makes a difference.
To curse is animal, to console, human.
If you must be blind, be blind in tolerance.”

“Prototype Human (Sonnet 2249)
The pen is my paradise,
the pen is my grave.
Everybody has all the answers,
I seem to have only questions.
Good thing, I don't know how to write,
methods are obstacle to my madness.
I'm vast enough to contain the world,
asylum pills don't work on pilgrim brains.
My pen never runs out of ink, because
the pen is an extension of my anatomy.
Madness is the first sign of sanity,
oneness is the seed of infinity.
Stereotypes are sanity of the jungle,
prejudice is sacred in the animal kingdom.
Flags are the poison, cosmos is (my) kin -
I am no stereotype, I am the Prototype Human.”

“Most Human (Sonnet 2151)
Racism is no longer tolerated as normal,
Islamophobia is no longer tolerated as normal,
Homophobia is no longer tolerated as normal,
Chauvinism is no longer tolerated as normal,
Colonialism is no longer tolerated as normal -
believe you me, I speak as a biologist,
this is the most human humanity have
ever been in our 200,000 years long history.
Accessibility is no longer ignored as unimportant,
Autism is no longer frowned upon as abnormal,
Integration is no longer cussed as act of stigma,
Intolerance no longer celebrated as divine intervention.
No wonder bigots have their knickers in a twist,
customs of the jungle are getting eradicated like disease.
Don't be disheartened by occasional resurgence of fascism,
inhumanity flickers fiercely before fading into the abyss.”

“I Too Am A Racist (Sonnet)
I too am a racist, except my racism
is rooted in evolution, not ignorance and fear -
to me, human race is the mightiest animal,
which is why, our responsibility is far greater.
I too am a bigot, but my bigotry is tolerance,
I don't accept anyone as human who's intolerant.
I too am a fundamentalist, but my faith is choice,
every human is free to choose what's best for them.
I too am a traditionalist, except I walk the tradition
of acceptance, not a secondhand host to dividing lineage.
I too am an extremist, except my extreme is annihilation,
my culture don't exist, nor religion, or native language.
I am native of the earth, yet I'm immigrant to humankind,
for I come from a valley, alien to the states of the world.
I am not interested in building bridges, I am the bulldozer,
out to demolish convention that makes divisions possible.”

“The Sonnet is Civilization (Sonnet 2235)

I hear, 'just because you're a citizen,

I say, just because you're english or aussie,

“The Drunken Polyglot (Sonnet 2300)
I never hankered for booze or drugs,
you know why - because I'm already drunk,
with the most hard-hitting, brain-altering
contraband in history - I'm ever consumed
with languages and cultures.
Latin Passion, Turkish Woundlight,
Nordic Thunder, Celtic Wonder, Afro Grit,
American Ambition, Arabian Adamance,
Chinese Ingenuity, Indian Nonduality -
like rivers running eager to meet in sea,
cultures converged to bring me to life.
I am vast beyond the spell of tribe,
I am the ruin of all resurging reich.
Call it Reich, Empire or Uncle Sam -
Zionist State or Hindu Rashtra -
Animal Kingdoms are found everywhere, still,
reason is to reichs what phenyl is to floor.”

“All Roads Lead to People (Sonnet)
What the world needs is character,
character civilized enough to
prioritize benevolence over borders,
awake enough to tell right from wrong,
and not kowtow to cannibal ancestors,
alive enough to value first the welfare of
the living over the last wishes of the dead,
human enough to identify as human, beyond
the gaslighting spell of prejudiced fairytales.
What burns the bigots most is
an unbending flame of inclusion,
what the world needs is character,
radiant with loving assimilation.
All roads spring from people,
and they lead back to the people.
Whenever we deviate from each other,
we are bound to end back in the jungle.”

“Little Planet on The Prairie
(New Earth Anthem)
New Earth is an art of love,
not a stain of hateful ignorance.
New Earth is a land of promise,
not of greed and indifference.
New Earth is a blank canvas,
we gotta decide what we paint -
masterpiece of an inclusive dawn,
or a bloody reminder of apish days.
New Earth is a better Earth,
we no longer thirst after blood.
We toil together without divide,
to be a gentle beacon in the cosmos.
Hijab, habit, turban, all are equal,
It's bigotry that is unacceptable.
On our New Earth character is supreme,
primitive traditions are expendable.
Existence here is an art of love,
at our planet on the cosmic prairie.
New Earth is a celebration of life,
not a validation of ruinous rigidity.”
