“To hell with the crown jewels, to hell with Fort Knox! You have something a billion times more valuable than all the treasures in the world. It is your human life. Give it up - give it up without a second's thought - give it up for those who have their back against the wall – those who are exploited, abused and alienated every single moment of their life – those who are pushed, and pushed, and pushed, by the materialistic world until they have nowhere to go. Give it up all for them. Show the world what a real king, a real queen looks like. Sacrifice makes one king or queen, not bloodline.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 63
Love is a lamp,
That the sane cannot light.
Peace is poetry,
That the sober cannot write.
Growth is green,
That the greedy cannot plant.
Insight is a state,
That the pompous cannot land.
Society is a cup of tea,
That the selfish cannot make.
World is a responsibility,
That the animals cannot take.
However, it's okay if the world feels too heavy.
Start by taking your neighborhood's responsibility.”

“Peygamber Undercover
(Sonnet of Accountability)
Everywhere I look, there's apocalypse!
Everywhere I look, there's inhumanity!
We have slept like a log long enough!
It's time for the human to embody humanity!
Still if you ask out of fear and insecurity,
What can you one person do to bring change!
Mark my words, if you are really determined,
You could part the ocean with sheer intent.
You have the power to turn this ailing world,
Into a world of laughter and loveliness.
The question is, are you a responsible human,
Or just another crummy vessel of recklessness?
Whatever the trouble may be, you are the answer.
In this difficult time, you are peygamber undercover.”

“You write an "I", that is you. Now cross it out, and there is Christ (+). Anybody who crosses themselves out in love for others, becomes a living Christ. Anybody who wipes themselves out in serving others, becomes a living Buddha. Anybody who lays themselves down to lift up others, becomes the epitome of divinity absolute. And that, my friend, is Religion 101 - it's Theology 101 - and above all, it is Life 101.”

“Service Over Selfies Sonnet
Awake, Arise O Timelords,
Oh makers and breakers of destiny!
Give this world accountability,
And time will give you immortality.
I don't want your shallow folllows,
I do not want your fancy likes.
Reach out as friend to someone in need,
That'll be my life's greatest prize.
Social media stats are no sign of character,
Fan following is no measure of a being.
Service over selfies, that is the motto,
Helping over hogging, that is living.
Life begins with the end of self-obsession,
Life self-obsessed is nothing but excretion.”

“The Vatican has been sending out missionaries across the world not to help the poor, but to convert the poor, in exchange for charity. In this respect, empirically speaking, the only religion that has been practicing the tradition of actual selfless service religiously, is Sikhism. Till this day Sikh langars or soup-kitchens across the world feed millions of people regularly, no matter their status, faith or ethnicity, without asking for anything in return. Religious charity in exchange for religious conversion is the most sacrilegious act of all. In the end, it has nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with service. Either serve or don't, there is no spreading the word. Spread good acts, not good news.”

“High Voltage Sonnet
Once upon a time I said to thee, Awake, Arise,
Stop not till thou write thy destiny!
Two score later I said to thee,
Give me blood, and I'll give thee liberty!
Time passed and some life got much fancier but,
Division and disparity remain ever so horrid.
We have made great strides on the outside yet,
In the mental domain we remain ever so brutish.
A twenty watt brain once accountable,
Electrifies the universe.
But when selfish and indifferent,
Even 20 million of them cannot do diddly-squat.
Fetch those cables from your spinal cord,
Awake, arise, and electrify this dampened world!”

“Peygamber Parabrahma (The Sonnet)
In a world where segregation is sanity,
True sanity begins with insanity.
You have to be insane to be egalitarian,
Inclusion is instilled through insanity.
In a world where indifference is sanity,
True sanity begins with insanity.
You have to be insane to take a stand,
Accountability comes through insanity.
In a world where selfishness is sanity,
True sanity begins with insanity.
You have to be insane to be wiped out for others,
Amidst inhumanity, humanity comes through insanity.
Sanity beyond sanity comes from the human beyond human.
Only such human is peygamber, such human is parabrahman.”

“Mission over Recognition (The Sonnet)
Let me show you what is
action without expectation!
What is it to do your duty,
without regard for recognition!
Quite often I lose count of my works,
Yet I've never had a fancy book launch.
I write in silence, I release in silence,
I have no relation to praise and applause.
I am the peak of humanitarian literature,
All without an ounce of support or award.
I am not a writer, I am world reformer,
My first concern is an integrated world.
Whatever happens next, know that it had
nothing to do with the making of a mission.
It's easy to bask in the glory of the sun,
not so much to fuel solar combustion.”
