“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 77
Be a muse to the world, not a mole.
Be a flute to the world, not a fluke.
Be a whistle to the world, not a hoax.
Be a warm coat to the world, not a coup.
Be O2 to the world, not CO.
Be water to the world, not booze.
Be a castle to the world, not another chaos.
Be ointment to the world, not another wound.
If you can't be a castle, be an apartment,
If you can't be an apartment, be a hut.
It's not about the size of your sacrifice,
It's about the intent, you impetuous lovenut!
Be a lamp, ladder or lego, what, it doesn't matter.
Just be something that makes the world better.”

“I Am Broken (The Sonnet)
Yes I do care, not about what the snobs say,
I care about how the deprived live.
Yes I am obsessed, not with looking fancy,
I am obsessed with alleviating others' grief.
Yes I am greedy, not for wealth and possession,
I am greedy to see sunshine on teary faces.
Yes I am nuts, not for perfection or fashion,
I am nuts about equity, honor and upliftment.
Yes I am scared, not that I may get hurt,
But that blinded by bias I may hurt someone.
Yes I am insecure, not about getting deceived,
But about losing control and causing harm.
Yes I am broken, unstable and bonkers as hell,
All 'cause others matter to me more than myself.”

“You are a little chubby - doesn't matter. You are a little skinny - doesn't matter. You don't know any table etiquette - doesn't matter. You prefer jeans over tuxedo - doesn't matter. You have tattoos all over your body - doesn't matter. You don't have a tag hanging from your neck saying religious - doesn't matter. What matters is, how you behave with those whom the society has placed at the bottom of its egotistical, megalomaniacal and barbaric hierarchy of class and pedigree.”

“To Live A Single Day (The Sonnet)
To live even for a single day,
In the full light of oneness.
To walk even for a single day,
In the full might of kindness.
To talk even for a single day,
In the full sight of humility.
To breathe even for a single day,
In the full height of amity.
To smile even for a single day,
Without a trace of hidden deceit.
To love even for a single day,
As an undeterred force of uplift.
Isn't that the highest sanity?
Isn't that the highest humanity?”

“I don't do anything for reward,
I do everything as a record,
a record of conviction -
a record of resilience -
a record of thunder -
a record of sentience.
My life is a repository
of what is possible if you put
your petty tribalisms aside.
I leave this repository
in your capable hands -
draw from it as you will -
put it to use as you deem fit.”

“Gods by The Hundreds (The Sonnet)
Some people fear christ,
Some claim to hear christ.
I work restless day and night,
To raise the living christs.
Some people fear god,
Some claim to be prophets.
I work without sleep and rest,
To raise gods by the hundreds.
One week of my life produces enough electricity,
To power a 100 years of humanitarian endeavor.
One life laid down to lift up the society,
Triggers a wildfire of sacrificial fervor.
I am but an instrument in the making of legends.
I am but a matchstick to light up the sapiens.”

“Martyr for Humanity (The Sonnet)
I am not a writer, I am an anomaly,
For writers run empty after a few works.
I lost count of mine a long time ago,
Yet I keep imploding with no sign of cork.
My brain keeps making appointments,
That my body can't keep without crashing.
I am not finished with one work,
And lo, another one starts pouring!
Someone, please calm my brain!
The torture grows excruciating by the minute!
Any day now hopefully an artery will blow,
Then I shall finally have my eternal rest.
Once I am gone, don't go making a cult out of me.
I shall be alive, so long as there is one human
standing ready to be martyred for humanity.”
