Live Torch (The Sonnet)

Be a live torch amidst the darkest night.
If not you, who else will light up the society!
Be a living weapon to defend the meek in fright.
If not you, who else will guard humanity!
Be a breathing sword to scare away inhumanities.
If not you, who else will draw the righteous line!
Be a valiant shield to stand against atrocities.
If not you, who else will call that duty mine!
Be a daring drum announcing the beats of acceptance.
If not you, who else will be the emblem of inclusion!
Be a fierce arrow to penetrate the clouds of conformity.
If not you, who else will free people from segregation!
Be the liberating nuke that demolishes all dogmatic shell.
If not you, who else will burn delivering the humanizing kernel!

The Maker (Sonnet)

Step by step we'll reach the mountaintop,
We'll build roads penetrating impediments.
Bit by bit we'll trash our conformities,
We’ll erect civilization upon reason and sentiments.
Day and night we'll stand tall in service,
Through storm, rain, heat and gloom.
There's no time for selfishness,
Being selfish would bring universal doom.
Sanity is in giving and caring,
It’s in every act of collective concern.
Because if you care only for the self,
Deserting your children your neighbors will run.
The world is our home and we must be its caretaker.
Comfort is luxury, it’s time we rise as the maker.

Mad Wind (The Sonnet)

Turn into a mad wind,
And blow away the rigidity.
Now the savagery must end,
To do that we must rise as almighty.
Turn into the monsoon rain,
And wash away all sickness.
Whenever a crisis arrives,
We must step up shredding all weakness.
Turn into a purifying wave,
And smoothen the thorns of argument.
Whenever rises differentiation,
We must become the bridge without bent.
The world is unstable and feeble with insecurity.
We must be its strength offering our soul as stability.

Revolution Sonnet

What is revolution you ask!

Revolution is an alarm,
To wake up the sleeping population.
Revolution is a weapon,
To fight tyranny and exploitation.
Revolution is a vaccine,
To prime the society against inhumanity.
Revolution is an insanity,
To humanize the paradigm of sanity.
Revolution is a tsunami,
To wash away all that's foul and carnal.
Revolution is a tornado,
To weaken the grasp of the animal.
Whenever savages raise their fangs most appalling,
Be not a mute witness but a revolution sanctifying.

An Immigrant's Plight (The Sonnet)

With hopes and dreams brimming in my heart,
I have traveled across miles and miles.
A single desire for a flame of acceptance,
Still burns bright in my heart's aisle.
You say home is where the heart is,
But my heart is accused of difference.
Sometimes I'm accused of faith or race,
Other times they question my allegiance.
Amidst the illusive fog of color and geography,
When did humanity cease mattering most!
Sentiments and dreams have no borders,
Character isn't exclusive to any single coast.
We’ve wasted enough time on labels and covers,
It's time to be family filling the world with colors.

Sonnet of Social Justice

Get ready to fight,
Not with hate but accountability.
Get ready to fight,
Not with vengeance but humanity.
Get ready to speak,
Not as a cynic but as a sapiens.
Get ready to speak,
Crossing all egotistical grievance.
Get ready to stand,
Trampling all petty separation.
Get ready to stand,
Not in rebellion but in inclusion.
When it is too dark around,
Look inside for you're the light all round.

The Purifying Sonnet

What the world needs is a helper,
Bold, brave and unbending.
What the world needs is a fire,
Daring, determined and unflinching.
What the world needs is a heartlifter,
Radical, revolutionary and rejuvenating.
What the world needs is a river,
Persistent, ceaseless and lifegiving.
What the world needs is a martyr,
Liberated, majestic and undying.
What the world needs is a flower,
Unconditioned, naïve and beautifying.
The world of today still lives in gutter.
It is our duty to be the purifier.

The Temper Sonnet

Where you need to be calm,
You burst out in rage.
Where you need to be on fire,
You walk in silence and not engage.
Where you need to listen,
You scream like a loudspeaker.
Where you need to speak out,
Somehow your words disappear.
Where it requires to be humble,
Pride takes over your humility.
Where your blood needs to boil,
Your veins seem to run empty.
The right use of temper is an act of revolution.
Put it to good use and you'll nourish civilization.

The Final Solution (A Sonnet)

O new people, o new humanizers,
The world has been waiting for you long.
Waiting for your dawn with deepest zeal,
Society is weary yet tries to be strong.
Now rise o makers of civilization,
Replenish this death valley with your sanctity.
Make rigidity and prejudice quiver,
Sanitize humanity with rapids of indivisibility.
The sun has gone dark, the moon lost its glory,
All are waiting for your galvanizing advent.
These deserts can no more sustain life,
You alone are hope and the last encouragement.
Walk boldly as the awakening of revolution.
Wake up from indifference and be the final solution.

Sonnet of National Sickness | Handcrafted Humanity

Wanna study a superpower, study America.
Wanna study dysfunctional power, still study America.
Wanna study spirituality, study India.
Wanna study rotten spirituality, still study India.
Wanna study rise of secularism, study Turkish Republic.
Wanna study fall of secularism, still study Turkish Republic.
Wanna study standards of beauty, study the Korean Republic.
Wanna study doctored beauty, still study the Korean Republic.
Wanna study pride and loyalty, study good old Britannia.
Wanna study primeval pride and loyalty, still study Britannia.
Wanna study statehood, study People's Republic of China.
Wanna study the horrors of statehood, still study China.
Every nation on earth suffers from a distinct ailment.
The first step towards recovery is acknowledgement.
