“World leader, my eye!
Hypocrites, every single one of them!
They attend climate conference emitting more carbon than all their citizens combined. They attend peace conference with nuclear codes handy in a briefcase.
And you want these two-timing morons to bring peace, health and harmony in the world! Keep dreaming - keep deluding yourself! I for one choose not to delegate the responsibility of my world to a bunch of windbags. The world is mine, its problems are mine.”

“There is no time for patience - there is no time for diplomacy - there is no time for policies, legislations and meaningless paperwork. It's enough already. Either stand up and rush to the aid of these war-stricken communities through whichever means possible or keep your mouth shut for the rest of your life.”

“Before being sworn into office, every head of state should spend a week in space, gathering some sense of the insurmountable gravity of our little blue home in the unfathomable vastness of the cosmos. Perhaps then when they return to earth, they could actually work for the benefit of the people of earth, rather than wasting their term in office like yet another tribal savage obsessing over petty nationalistic agenda.”

“How to Train Your Head of State (The Sonnet)
We shall achieve more by
blasting politicians into space,
than by blasting satellites
to other planets.
They'll leave earth as warmongers,
and return as peacemakers.
They'll leave earth as mindless apes,
and return as mindful humans.
In the middle of absolute vacuum,
mind grows fond of the warmth of home.
Fondness born of existential crisis,
never subsides even after you return
to your comfort zone.
When you are floating in space untethered,
each speck of earthland is equally priceless.
Then you'll realize the fallacy of borders -
Nation-nonsense will fade,
and earth will be your primary sense.”

“Every Day is Naskar Day (Sonnet 2861)
I don't do this day and that day,
I don't need to, you do, you live your life
the year round indifferent to atrocity,
then on specific dates you pretend you care,
whereas my entire life is black history month,
islamic science month, indigenous philosophy month,
asian theology month, valentine's day, Mother's Day,
Woman's Day, Earth Day, Palestine Month, all at once.
I rarely write date specific texts,
because every day is Naskar Day,
and every Naskar Day is everybody's day.”

“Azad Earth Army (The Sonnet)
From river to the sea,
Al Shams to Alpha Centauri,
I'll radicalize each child into
a volcanic veteran of inclusivity.
Palestine, Kashmir, America,
every territory will be humanized,
without resorting to canon calls,
for my soldiers are walking dynamite!
Give me a speck of spinal nerve,
I'll weave awaken bulldozing thunder!
My patriots are keeper of the world,
not stately pawn of terror and blunder.
Awake, arise, adopt the world,
let no monkey nationalize your humanity.
Final call to a free* world, you,
o bravehearts, are my *Azad Earth Army!”

“Even if I accept your bogus excuses for war, today we have the technology to fight wars without actually killing people - only reason we don't, is because it's not economical. Life is not economical, death is - peace is not economical, war is. It's far cheaper to kill enemy soldiers than take them prisoner, at the expense of the taxpayer. One bullet costs half a dollar, whereas one prisoner costs thousands per year. So, naturally, preserving life is not the priority, neither is peace. Besides, think of the rush of pride the primitive taxpayers get, from the headlines - "our nations' gallant forces took down several enemy soldiers in a bone-chilling surgical strike!" And more the primitives of a nation are exposed to this kind of blood-boiling headlines, more they get conditioned to believe, that in every war, they are on the right side of justice. World calls it Geopolitics - I call it Pavlovian Conditioning of Patriotism - where the citizen canines of a state are made to believe even the worst of stately atrocity to be just and righteous, by repeated exposure of a patriotic narrative. As I once said, whoever controls the narrative, controls the people. And fear is at the root of it all. Once the citizens conquer their fear and prejudice, and grow up into civilized thinking humans, that'll be the end of state, war and geopolitical tribalism.”

“Topnut, DOD Sonnet
Take a fancy celebrity,
put them in military uniform,
suddenly everybody is a patriot.
That's how primitive this world is,
everybody yells about world peace,
while living in militarist gutter.
The best propaganda is one that,
does not feel like propaganda;
Best way to legally recruit terrorists,
is to portray terrorism as valor.
Best way to sustain the revenues of war,
is to showcase war as peace-intervention.
Till you grow up and denounce all militarism,
don't you dare call yourself a civilized human!
We scientists, doctors, nurses and teachers,
forget self-preservation for life-preservation,
while primitive civilians of a primitive planet,
throw all that away, hypnotized by patriotism.”

“Stateless Sonnet
Some dreams are too big for a town,
Some dreams are too big for a city.
My dream was too big for one country,
So I stood up and engulfed humanity.
I am too alive to be bound by ideology,
I am too human to be bound by border.
Too civilized to pledge flagly allegiance,
I am the ultimate geopolitical defector.
In poetry I am sufi,
In philosophy I am advaitin.
In duty I am scientist,
In existence I am human.
I am a civilized human being,
I don't exist to impress governments.
I'm a being with heart, brain 'n backbone,
I'm the stateless force of world upliftment.”

“I Hate Guns (The Sonnet)
Please don't hold a gun to my head,
Because firearms terrify me to death.
When I am scared stiff due to stupidity,
Nothing can keep the beast from outbreak.
I battle everyday to keep it tamed,
I dread the moment the beast finds release.
Mock me, hit me, I assure your safe return,
Hold a gun, and be torn apart limb from limb!
So, I implore you, o savage most refined,
Please show some mercy, and give up your guns!
Or be a stupid moron, and carry in secret,
Just not stupid enough to draw at my loved ones.
Committing primitivity even God won't escape the Ravager.
Bullets work on two-bit terrorists, not natural disaster.”

“There never was a war of the free world against fascism, there was only war between two versions of fascism - because the so-called free world has tortured and massacred more lives than the third reich could only dream of.
There never was a world war between good and evil, there was only war between two evils. There never was a world war against tyranny, there was only war between an established tyrant regime and a rising one. The real first world war has just begun - the war between good and evil - the war between emancipation and occupation - between inclusion and exclusion - between expansion and contraction - between reason and rigidity - between humanity and inhumanity. I call it, World War Human.
And unlike previous times, we won't win this war by old-fashioned bullets and bombs, or by deceit and diplomacy. The World War Human can only be won by education, and education alone - by an ardent, absolute, unambiguous, unbending, undoctrinated, unphobic, unwhitewashed, decolonized, nonpartisan, gender neutral, valiant, self-correcting and conscientious execution of education.”

“Politicians don't have race, politicians don't have religion, politicians don't have nationality. You may think, this is a good thing - well, in this case, it's not. You know why? Because their race is self-interest - their religion is self-interest - their nationality is self-interest. Politicians can be white, black, brown or martian - but once a moron, always a moron. Some monkeys are white, some monkeys are colored, but inside they are not white or colored - they are politicians - which means, they are all monkeys.
And the exception to this norm often comes from not so popular parts of the world - for example, South Africa. Which only proves that, you don't need to be a so-called geopolitical superpower to do what's right - you don't have to be a superpower to be a peacemaker. In fact in most cases, the so-called superpowers are the most morally bankrupt states in the world. Because guess what - governments don't exist to do the right thing, governments exist to do whatever keeps them in power. And the day the politics of self-interest comes to an end, there will be no longer any need for activists, humanitarians and reformers.”

“If A Tree Falls (Sonnet)
If a tree falls in the forest, but
nobody hears it, did it really fall!
If children are bombed to death,
but it's omitted from the news,
did the children really die!
If people are massacred by law,
but it's not on Netflix,
is it really a genocide!
If democracy is dismantled piece by piece,
but by government decree,
is it really illegal!
If the world is burnt to cinders,
but the privileged castles stay intact,
is the world really burning!”

“You keep buying your children toy pistols, then you wonder, why there is no peace in the world! When you raise terrorists, you are bound to have terrorism - most of which is democratically glorified as patriotism. It takes just one generation of parents to put an end to the prehistoric tradition of war and hate - just one generation. So, my question is - are you that generation? Only parents can end wars, not politicians - only education can end terror, not armament.”
