“Missing God Complex
(The Sonnet)
Usually I write and release one book a month,
But World War Human took me several months.
An accident turned the world upside down for
my family - the fearless legend was briefly lost.
When I wrote, how does the bird come and go, I had
no inkling that it'd come true in a couple of months.
I felt the helplessness of my pathless dropout years,
For the first time in over a decade I felt defeatist.
Month-long grovelling to doctors left me suffering
with inferiority complex, wallowing in self-pity.
For a brief while I was actually rendered useless,
I honestly lost my link with the rest of humanity.
So I did what I hadn't done in a long time,
I reverted back to my origin of mission.
In his memory I reawakened to my promise,
I got reignited with my natural divine vision.
Finally I reclaimed my innate God complex,
the usual invincibility to outside influence.
I returned to life galvanized a thousand folds,
Tragedy does nothing but amply my omnipotence.”

“Never Planned (The Sonnet)
I never planned to be a poet,
I never planned to be a writer.
I never planned to be a scientist,
I never planned to be a philosopher.
I never had any plans whatsoever,
As to what I was going to be.
As a vagabond I only had one inkling,
That is to equalize the society.
Now that I am a scientist,
Logic comes to me like clockwork.
Now that I am a writer and poet,
Words and rhymes come like lovewalk.
The path appears itself as you start to walk.
Means flow like heartbeat in all purposeful work.”

“Praise (The Sonnet)
In praising myself,
I only insult myself.
In pleasing myself,
I bring misery upon myself.
Lots of things I bought,
Plenty places I travelled.
Nothing gave me the bliss I seek,
No matter how much I groveled.
Then I stopped wanting things,
I ceased craving for gratification.
I placed my heart at your feet,
Finally I found my absolution.
Long was I lost in the sleep of pride.
Erasing the self I found my light.”

“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.”

“Allergic to Opulence (Sonnet 2230)
Do I have any right to happiness,
when millions go without food and shelter!
That's why, there's not a trace of luxury in my life,
I churn out humanitarian electricity all waking hours.
Most expensive clothes I own cost 20 dollars,
most expensive devices I own cost 200 dollars.
Born to a factory worker, I never knew luxury,
then I made me a name, but saw the world's condition,
I grew an absolute repulsion to lifestyle luxurious.
The question is not, how much can I enjoy,
but how much can I endure to lift up the world!
Life's meaning comes not from what we gain for
ourselves, but from what we give up for others.
I'm existentially allergic to opulence,
every soft bed feels like a betrayal -
expensive meals scream of starving children,
dollar spent on luxury is a dollar animal.”

“Life Beyond Rhyme (The Sonnet)
Those who don't do, bark,
Those who are humans, do.
Those who don't help, howl,
Those who are humans, help.
Those who don't lift, laugh,
Those who are humans, lift.
Those who don't encourage, cuss,
Those who are humans, encourage.
Those who don’t mend, mock,
Those who are humans, mend.
Those who got no vagina, patronize,
Those who are humans, grow vagina.
If we can love ourselves despite our flaws,
Why can't we be a little kind to others!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 9
The world doesn't need more avengers, but amantes.
Hear me well, my brave amantes, it's time to assemble!
More than Captain America we need Amelia Earhart,
More than Madame Web we need Madame Curie-like rebel.
Scrutinize all tradition with a fresh set of eyes,
Rebel against dogma, and stand up to discrimination.
Beliefs and doctrines surely have their place,
But none of it is above scrutiny of the new generation.
Each generation is to write their new set of laws,
Learning from the triumphs and downfalls of yesterday.
You just remember, that all roads lead to people,
And life that doesn't lift people is life gone astray.
Ayudar a la gente es la salvación de la mente.
Elevación de la gente es la elevación de la mente.”

“Cast Fiction To The Wind (The Sonnet)
The candle's purpose is to be lost in light,
The heart's purpose is to be lost in love.
The ocean may try the sailor all it wants but,
The naive sailor is lost in the ocean's love.
The sailor and the sea are not two but one,
The candle and the light are not two but one.
The heart and love are not two but one,
Individual and collective are not two but one.
Purpose of human is conquest over the inner animal,
Purpose of a human is the expansion of humanity.
Everybody grows old, not everybody grows up,
To die without growing up, is the greatest tragedy.
Life is too short to be wasted on half-cocked may be's!
Cast fiction to the wind, and make the most of reality.”

“Only love can bring full freedom, all else brings half freedom. What is half freedom you ask? When in the name of freedom you imprison yourself to one side or sect, everything outside that sect seems evil. For example, fundamentalists choose the side of blind faith, and every act of reason seems like blasphemy - just like cold, sharp-tongue intellectuals choose the side of rationality even at the expense of humanity, and everything illogical seems outdated - or wait, I got a better one - so-called social activists often get so attached to their self-imposed identity of victimhood, that every person with a political, corporate, legal or bureaucratic background seems to appear as devil incarnate. This, my friend, is what I call "half freedom", which by the way, is far worse than the lack of freedom. And even though it manifests as an act of willful choice, when you get down to it, it's just plain old rigidity. And if we want to build a truly just, inclusive and progressive society, this hypocritical half-freedom won't do - what's needed is whole freedom - a kind of freedom that liberates the mind of all superstition as well as ignorant suspiciousness. It's time we realize, yelling about justice without using common sense is just as useless as keeping quiet. What this means is that, we gotta come together regardless of our background - the teacher, the scientist, the student, the copper, the politician, the civil servant, the entrepreneur, the economist, the janitor, the construction worker - every single person from every single walk of life must come forward surpassing all suspicious conspiracy, and contribute the best of their capacity in the making of a real civilized world.”

“Chosen by Choice (The Sonnet)
Choose yourself by yourself,
Be the chosen by choice.
Nobody's gonna come to choose you,
Without any self-interest.
Nobody's gonna pop out of fiction,
And choose you to lift the world.
The world is your family,
You are their self-determined vanguard
You are the chooser, you are the choice,
You alone are the divine intervention.
One who is responsible is also divine,
What is indifferent is simply damnation.
Choose yourself as the world's defender.
There's no greater defender than an unbent lover.”
