It is the prospect of genuine employment and good health: a life of choices and opportunity, free from discrimination.”

“Jai Ho (Sonnet 1165)
Jai Ho to all the beings,
Who ain't hypnotized with hate!
Jai Ho to all the beings,
Who ain't living in cavemen days!
Jai Ho to the luchadors,
Who struggle por la igualdad!
Jai Ho to the reformers,
Who value rights over ritual!
Space may be the final frontier,
But heart is the first frontier.
Unless we first conquer the heart,
We'll turn the cosmos into dumpyard.
So I salute, to all explorers of heart!
Jai Ho to the janitors of our cosmic courtyard!”

“Sonnet 1284
Human chest contains miracles of the cosmos,
Animal chest contains but the brutal jungle.
Choice is yours, what shall you facilitate -
a world of brutality or a world of miracle!
Be a miracle or be an animal, choice is yours;
In your veins brews the dream of civilization.
The world is in dire need of miracle humans,
There is no such thing as miracle animal.
This ribcage ends up a prison most times,
But it can also be a sanctuary - a paradise.
Entertain hate, and you are a prisoner;
Give in to love, lo you usher into light!
Abandon divide, adopt but life.
Contain the world in your chest of light.”

“Generation Understanding (Sonnet 2480)
No matter what the apes want you to believe,
it's not weakness to abandon suspicion,
it's not weakness to discard judgment,
it's not weakness to practice empathy,
it's not weakness to be considerate -
it's not misdemeanor to denounce primitive
practices that our ancestors thought sensible,
it's a sign of wisdom, not stupidity, to admit
ignorance, rather than succumb to supernatural.
My favorite answer of all is, 'I don't know' -
in the absence of rigorous investigation
that's the answer I fall back on the most;
then there are times when logic is immaterial,
there I avoid all mention of knowledge, and
take the humane course, despite reason or ritual.”
