“Sonnet of Struggle
The struggle of one,
Is the struggle of all.
Denying freedom to one,
Is the beginning of collective fall.
Lasting happiness for one,
Is in the happiness of community.
Even one soul without serenity,
Is a world without serenity.
The anguish of one,
Casts shadow on collective mind.
Even if one person falls behind,
It is the fall of all humankind.
Togetherness is another name for progress,
Together forever, either as lovers or ashes.”

"Territories," corrects Dad.
"That, too," says Olmo cheerfully.”

“People have a tendency to either fundamentalize things or philosophize things - those who fundamentalize things, boast about heritage, and those who philosophize things, boast about intellect. I say, neither heritage nor intellect is to be placed at the supreme altar of the human mind, instead what we must place in our mind's altar is people.”

“Anthropology studies the phenomenon of man, not simply man's mind, his body, evolution, origins, tools, art, or groups alone, but as parts or aspects of a general pattern, or whole. To emphasize this fact and make it a part of their ongoing effort, anthropologists have brought a general word into widespread use to stand for the phenomenon, and that word is culture.”

“The iceberg model highlights why we cannot judge a new culture purely on what we see. Instinctively, we know there's more to a situation than we initially perceive... It is essential to take time to uncover the beliefs that underline behavior.”

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 47
Be the cactus, a proof of unsubmission,
And blossom amidst the fiercest environment.
In a world primed with the probability of hate,
Be love impossible and lift all lost in lament.
Aspire to expire for a cause uncausable,
And your heart will shine with light untamable.
When all go berserk for sect as bozos on booze,
Be the sectless sapiens and stand indivisible.
When all are possessed with the libido of liberty,
Be the first one standing, responsible 'n righteous.
In a world founded on unfounded assumptions,
Be the first ink of understanding unpresumptuous.
Blockheads and blockhearts have only blocked amity.
It's time to unblock, unfold and undivide our psyche.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 65
Doomsday is not when the earth collapses,
Nor is it the contagion of a deadly virus.
Doomsday is when humans forget humanity,
As such all of us are doomsday descendants.
There is no such thing as fall of humanity,
For humankind never rose to civilization.
Our ancestors were savages with bow and arrow,
We are modern savages with nuclear ammunition.
Each of us are raised as an incarnate of doom,
Through our veins flow the germs of selfishness.
Everybody talks of peace without realizing,
The opposite of war is not peace, it's unselfishness.
So stop worrying about the fall of civilization.
Live as human so that there actually is a civilization.”

“The permanent antidote to crime is education alone.”

“Sonnet of Public Service
Every reformer is a public servant,
But not every public servant is a reformer,
For public service isn't taught as life itself,
But as just another job little more secure.
If only education focused on life and love,
Instead of constantly peddling competition,
Perhaps we'd have a world little less bitter,
And we'd have ascension, not abomination.
But there's no use in brooding over history,
What's needed is to realize love as our core.
Education and all be manifestations of love,
If not, it is just another snobbish endeavor.
May service be the goal, role and whole of life,
Instead of being and raising educated lowlife.”

“Thus Peace Begins (The Sonnet)
Peace begins with society,
Society begins with individuality.
Individuality begins with liberty,
Liberty begins with accountability.
Accountability comes from unity,
Unity comes through community.
Community comes through diversity,
Diversity comes through inclusivity.
Inclusivity comes through nonrigidity,
Nonrigidity comes through curiosity.
Curiosity comes through expansivity,
Expansivity comes through evolvability.
Evolvability comes through taming animality.
Animality is tamed when we prioritize humanity.”

“Civil Liberty (The Sonnet)
Policy is not the precursor to civil liberty,
Civic duty is the precursor to civil liberty.
If there is no civic duty, there is no civil liberty,
If there is no civic duty, civilians are but catastrophe.
Contrary to unwritten political law of abuse,
Civilians are not the doormats of democracy.
Civilians are the doors, civilians are the buildings,
Civilians are the whole of the social anatomy.
Problem is, it's more convenient to live life as doormat,
Than take responsibility and turn politicians obsolete.
The war-mongers know this uncivilized tenet of the apes,
Hence they can turn living beings into moronic nationalist.
So I repeat, civic duty is the alpha and omega of civil liberty.
Till we realize this, there is no peace, justice and equality.”

Every heart that turns into an unpluggable volcano in the face of bigoted barbarism, is corazón calamidad. Every heart that calls every other heart their family, and stands prepared to fight the almighty god if necessary, is corazón calamidad.

“You know why there is so-much power outage in the world? Because the humans are unaware of their own electricity, both metaphorically and literally. And one who realizes their inner electricity and brings it out to electrify the whole world, is the true CEO of the world.
I don't care for being the CEO of some puny anti-humanitarian company, for I am already a CEO - I am the CEO of planet earth - I am the Chief Evolution Officer of the human world - so is every single human whose responsibility towards society outweighs their primeval drive for narcissism and self-preservation.
In every age, in every time, there'll come ten of us Chief Evolution Officers to make mincemeat of the megalomaniacal ploy of anti-humanitarian giants while driving human evolution in a humane direction.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 22
If the world is messed up,
We may not be the cause of it.
But if we die leaving it the same,
We are nothing but bags of wind.
Society wasn't built on equity,
Nor was it built on principles of justice.
All was founded on exploitation of the lowly,
And some modern apes still can't get over it.
Till today the rich talk about equality,
While flying in their private jets.
Things get even more hypocritical and wacky,
When they talk about climate change.
However, we can still make this world better,
We just have to actually start living simpler.”
