Social Reformer Quotes

“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.”

“Messiahs don't drop from the sky, As mortal suffering jumps the fence. A messiah is just a mortal, Minus all the indifference. Peygambers don't jog down from jennet, As people are troubled by malice. A peygamber is just a regular person, Who has conquered their prejudice. Buddhas don't grow in a zen garden, As the world reeks of bigotry. A buddha is just an ordinary being, Minus all the self-centricity.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 14 Messiahs don't drop from the sky, As mortal suffering jumps the fence. A messiah is just a mortal, Minus all the indifference. Peygambers don't jog down from jennet, As people are troubled by malice. A peygamber is just a regular person, Who has conquered their prejudice. Buddhas don't grow in a zen garden, As the world reeks of bigotry. A buddha is just an ordinary being, Minus all the self-centricity. Mind is the enemy, mind is the mate. To all wounds of society mind is ointment.”

“A nation with a thousand awakened citizens and a corrupt leader, is much more alive than a nation with an awakened leader and a thousand corrupt citizens.”

“Young, Boiling, Selfless (The Sonnet) Sen söyle karadeniz, Ben daha ne yapayım! Gençliğimi feda ettim, Hayatımı feda ettim, Ben daha ne yapayım! In wiping out the anguish of society, I forgot to indulge in the exploits of youth. Once I realized the world on my shoulder, That was the end of self, and the birth of truth. People dream of earning a ton of money, I always dreamed of earning immortality. Anybody can live in flesh and blood, Mark of character is to live in people's memory. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, But a life given for a life fallen makes the whole world alive.”

“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.”

“Dar Mano, Ser Humano (The Sonnet) Kafir Biraz, peygamber biraz! İyi insan olmak için ikisi de lazım. Kısmet to some, kıyamet to some! That's how we come to life beyond all ism. Diablo para algunos, santo para algunos. It's all our mess, so las respuestas somos. Fairytales work best when vegetables sleep. Pero te digo hoy - dar mano, ser humanos. Infidel to some, gospel to some! That's the cross a reformer got to bear. The Nazarene already did his bit for the world. It's time for new humanitarians to give a shoulder. We are the message, we are the messenger. Kabhi hum kafir, kabhi peygamber.”

“Reformer Needed (The Sonnet) To put the politicians straight, What's needed is a reformer. To put the soldiers straight, What's needed is a reformer. To put the scientists straight, What's needed is a reformer. To put the philosophers straight, What's needed is a reformer. To put the entrepreneurs straight, What's needed is a reformer. To put the preachers straight, What's needed is a reformer. And how does the reformer remain straight, By looking beyond the beliefs of binary lanes.”

“No judgment, no mockery, no grudge, no assumption - just fall. Fall head over heels for the world, like you did for your first love. Remember the loss of appetite, remember the sleeplessness, remember the constant desire to see them - once you feel that kind of intense attachment to the world, that day the world will have a true lover - that day the society will have a high voltage human.”

“Naskargen (Sonnet 3000) It all started with a promise - Liberty is my religion, Humans are my God; what took to paper as a penniless dream, ignited the planet with culture of integration. Journey of civilization begins with one person rejecting an outdated tradition, evolution of apes to human begins with one person disposing of their flag in a museum. Divinity of the past was based in sky-fiction, divinity of the present must be rooted in life; science of the robots revolves around metal, science of the humans must center around mind. Faith fixated on no prophecy, no propaganda, I entrust my promise upon you, my promise, my rebellion, my madness - if there is not a single Naskar in sight, be the Naskar of your generation.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Light Impossible (The Sonnet) A candle knows only to give light, Despite being surrounded by darkness. Darkness cannot affect the candle's light, A candle cannot be coerced into heartlessness. The struggle for light has never been easy, If it were, light would be but a cigarette-butt. Light is priceless, hence the struggle is eternal, To be light is to be alive, even amidst the dark. To be light is to see light, this is the law, To be good is to see good, this is the way. One whose hands are guided by love and light, Even amidst ominous storms never goes astray. Love for the world causes light impossible. For love for the people is love untameable.”

“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.”

“Fabric of Stars (The Sonnet) Rise or fall doesn’t matter, If you've helped a few people. Live or die doesn’t matter, If you've helped a few people. The point of life is not to live, Any more than it is to just eat. The point of life is to lift lives, In their smile is victory, in tears defeat. To win over enemies is ridiculously easy, To win over hearts is the real act of valor. Muscles wither, clothes get torn to pieces, Valor and virtue can’t be bound by no graveyard. Graves are for animals and gutter-crawling worms. Helpers get forever etched upon the fabric of stars.”

“I am no motivation salesman. I am not here to ease your life, I am here to make an absolute mess of your life. I am here to turn it upside down. I am here to turn you into a dynamite of pure humanitarian potential.”
