“Beyond Borders and Dogma
(Sonnet 1590)
Monkeys obsess over chunks of land,
takes a human to home the world.
Leeches obsess over guns and badges,
takes a human to deck the halls.
Beyond borders and dogma,
beyond division and doctrine,
beyond malignant maleficence,
everyone is my kith and kin.
Any ape can boast about their culture,
I'll die roaring for every culture
on earth, except my own.
Monkeys obsess over chunks of land,
I stand guard till all are one.
Nationalists mark borders by raising guns,
like dogs mark their territory by raising legs.
Monkeys seek refuge in archaic sovereignty,
Human am I, my refuge is the human race.”

“Apartheid Sonnet
Integration 101: I don't exist,
that's my law of integration.
Had I not told you my name,
it'd be impossible for you
to know my culture and nation.
Any ape can boast about its culture,
I'll die roaring for all but my own.
I am local of a borderblind world,
something illegible to the cavegrown.
Borders are glorified apartheid,
Passports are glorified bus pass.
No peace can ever come to light,
from the doings of apartheid heart.
Latinos regard me as latino,
Americans reckon I'm american,
Muslims consider me a muslim,
that's how I've lived as a human.”

“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.”

“What is Naskar (The Sonnet)
Naskar is a culture unto themselves,
Naskar is a nation unto themselves.
Naskar is a planet unto themselves,
Naskar is a paradigm unto themselves.
Naskar culture is integration,
Naskar nation is world nation.
Naskar planet is borderless,
Naskar paradigm is undivision.
Naskar is not a he or she,
Naskar is the whole of humanity.
Naskar is neither east nor west,
Naskarosphere is conscious unity.
Naskar is just a lesser synonym,
The original name is Human Being.”

“I have but one law - I don't exist. I don't have a homeland, I don't have a native tongue, I don't have an origin culture - for you are my home, your tongue is my tongue, your culture is my culture. Those who still want to learn about my origin, could easily find out where I come from and all that nonsense, but as for me, my existence is rooted in you - that's all you gotta know. Nothing else matters, nothing else must matter. I repeat, nothing else must matter. For an earthbound species, I am native of earth - for an interplanetary species, I am native of Milky Way - for an intergalactic species, I am a native of the cosmos - for a lifeform beyond time and space, I am but a speck of carbon-based electrochemical memory.”

“The Naskar Anthem
(Sonnet 2554-2555)
Heir to no throne,
no crown on my head,
tearing up borderly lies,
I burn as the lamp of aid.
I hold no flag,
yet I raise nations,
I stand as rebel guard,
humanizing inoculation.
Rocking the world with sacred wonder,
priming the souls with curing thunder,
every sonnet is call against slumber,
every line, a revolt against plunder.
From the alleys of grief
to the towers of pride,
I am wounded, I walk with
the wounded by my side.
Not born to erase faith,
but to rewrite it tolerant;
suffering is the doorway,
to the becoming of a saint.
A pair of helping hands is holier
than a million praying lips;
I got no need for scripture,
for I carry a heart that beats.
I have no law, but life -
I have no edict, but empathy.
I have no creed, but conscience -
I am the vow of mad inclusivity.
Roads ignited with the voice of oneness,
cannot be extinguished by clouds of hate.
When the final regime has fallen to pieces,
the drop of dew will still be incandescent.”

“I'm Impossible (Sonnet 1272)
I don't need to play word games,
to say, impossible means I am possible;
my existence is epitome of the impossible.
I don't make plans, I make purpose,
then the purpose plans me, into unstoppable.
Does that mean, loneliness doesn't bother me,
Of course it does - it makes the torture worse.
Anybody who says, they enjoy loneliness,
is either lying or plain narcissistic retard.
But then again, just when I feel super gloomy,
I remember my responsibility to my world family.
Time and again, my purpose drags me out,
Electrifying my veins with incorruptible duty.
¡Viva la humanidad, viva la familia mundial!
Long live humanity, long live world family!
Whenever you are down, take refuge in purpose;
Your purpose will reawaken your invincibility.”

“Fugitive Peace (Sonnet 2219)
In the opera of war, peace is fugitive -
thinking soldiers are no good to state,
either you kill without question, and grab
your medal, or get discharged dishonorably.
Thinking citizens are no good to democracy,
either you obey blind or be branded a terrorist.
Either you hold your mouth, mind and backbone,
or be jailed as an anarchist.
If you want to be an actor,
don't go to film school,
become an intern to some politician.
Some say secularism is in their blood,
some say liberty, all the while being
the posterboys of persecution.
No politician will prioritize peace,
if they did, they would be out of business.
War is the currency of political power -
abandon fanaticism, and politicians go extinct.”

“Neighbor Before Nation (Sonnet 2201)
Death of soldiers is PR goldmine for
nationalist nutters, no matter the side,
because it gives them the appetizing
ammunition to sell some more fear,
some more prejudice,
some more fanatic tribalism,
neighbor fighting neighbor,
all wrapped in cute pills of patriotism -
which ultimately manufactures
some more orphans, some more widows,
some more elderly who lose their hope.
Trenches don't have a right side and wrong side,
they only have one side, the side of dogma and lies.
Asses to asses, cheek to cheek, apes laud the apes,
declaring true apehood through their half-open flies.”

“Democracy on Drugs, Sonnet (Operation Opium)
Revolution a day keeps corruption away,
freethinking days prevent genocidal nights.
Citizens without brain leads to democracy on drugs,
paranoia is lifeblood for power-hungry parasites.
Parasites thrive on gaslighting neighbors,
peaceful coexistence is a threat to political power.
Politicians remain safe through war and drought,
it's the people who pay with blood, money and tears.
Parasites don't have nationality,
parasites don't have religion,
parasites only have a bottomless hunger
to keep the throne by calculated cleansing.
Nationalism has nothing to do with culture,
fundamentalism has nothing to do with religion.
Win a war, lose a war, politicians lose nothing,
living off domesticated sheep comatosed by opium.”

Only leeches live by guns and call it honor,

You know what distinguishes

The capacity to destroy the world,

but choosing humanity instead.
The capacity to be patriotic,
yet choosing to be human instead.
War is the symptom,
patriotism is the disease.
Terrorists harbor patriotism,
Reformists harbor peace.”

“Guns Are Viagra (Sonnet 1262)
Indifference does more damage than inhumanity,
For animals can't be expected to be human.
Humans are human when they are accountable,
Passive spectators are worse than inhuman.
Silence of the peacelovers is more damaging
than violence of the warmongers.
Till the very thought of guns makes you sick,
you are only playing make believe peacekeepers.
Guns are just viagra for the impotent,
Bullets are but crutches for centipedes.
When there's no substance in mind and spine,
Monkeys tend to cower behind semiautomatics.
More backward a country,
more its fascination with guns and bombs.
That's why you cannot imagine a hero,
without a gun in their hands.
Real heroes don't carry guns,
Real heroes don't wear capes.
Wearing a smile, carrying a spine,
Real heroes work to rescue peace,
from the clutches of states.”

“March of Human (Trisonnet 2556-2558)
When the world feels cold and hollow,
and the clouds won't let you breathe,
awake, arise, and walk the marrow,
you are fire fated to be free.
Every heartbeat, an anthem of love,
every syllable breaks a chain -
you're the thunder you ought to follow,
rise untamed, and history's rearranged.
Every silence holds a scripture,
every wound is a sacred drum -
every time you defy despair,
you teach midnight how to hum.
When the Human speaks, mountains wake,
tired hearts of earth unbreak -
turn the world from ash to flame,
help the broken speak their name.
When the Pilgrim speaks, borders fall,
the migrant soul becomes the all -
in the quake of your cosmic call,
empires misplace their mighty gall.
Write like time's a fragile toy,
like galaxies sit in your palm -
roar with justice, rain with joy,
awaken chaos into calm!
From deserts to the deltas,
from river to the sky,
be the ink of revolution,
that refuses to comply.
Grab history by the collar,
take hate and make it dust -
when you near, tyrants stutter;
lift the planet from the jungle gutter.
When the Heart speaks, the Earth rewrites,
buried stories are restored with rights -
paint the future with your bare hands,
teach the fire how to stand.
When the Human walks, the soil revives,
forgotten streets all come to life -
with every step, with every beat,
Awake, Arise, and Breathe Complete!”

“Better a refugee than prisoner
(Sonnet 1555)
Eon upon eon I seek for a refuge,
Land upon land I receive but coldness.
Last I stand at your door exhausted,
Spare some warmth, for my heart freezes!
Stateless, cultless, I walk the planet.
Restless, sleepless, I live a dream.
Friendless, loveless, I brave the mission.
The being is dissolved for the beacon to beam.
Wield, I do, my conscience as compass.
Wear, I do, my backbone as battery.
Bouts of tragedy only amplifies my thunder,
Nature's bare mockery makes miracle of me.
Borders are for hoarders, my home is the world.
Better a refugee to the sea than prisoner of the pond.”

Salutations to all, today is my homecoming,
To dwell in grief is treachery on life.
I sought plenty escape in translations,
but true ointment lies in the soil of life.
So I return, shattering shackles of sorrow -
Reignite me oh life, resuscitate me unto duty!
I want no more to sob through the alleys of pity -
Sanctify me oh divine nature, with renewed tenacity.
Today I break all spell of ominous cowardice,
Today I vivify my veins as the volcanic vanguard!
I refuse to be castrated by pathetic redundancy,
Today I revive my vows as defender of the world!”
