Revolution a day keeps corruption away,
freethinking days prevent genocidal nights.
Citizens without brain leads to democracy on drugs,
paranoia is lifeblood for power-hungry parasites.

Parasites thrive on gaslighting neighbors,
peaceful coexistence is a threat to political power.
Politicians remain safe through war and drought,
it’s the people who pay with blood, money and tears.

Parasites don’t have nationality,
parasites don’t have religion,
parasites only have a bottomless hunger
to keep the throne by calculated cleansing.

Nationalism has nothing to do with culture,
fundamentalism has nothing to do with religion.
Win a war, lose a war, politicians lose nothing,
living off domesticated sheep comatosed by opium.

Educate your children never to serve your nation;
to serve the nation makes monkey out of human,
killing on the basis of nationality and religion.

If you wanna serve your nation,
serve through science, serve through art,
serve through music, literature, industry,
but never through military.

However, if you wanna make crime your career,
with all the glorious decorations –
kill one person, it’s murder –
kill in bulk, it’s patriotism.

Soldiers are just glorified webcam models,
standing erect to serve political libido.
Be the human your flesh appears to be,
or go back to the jungle, your mind is suited so.

Science, arts, music, innovation,
that’s how you serve a nation.
There is no greater dipsomaniac
profession, than militarist infestation.

Be a think tank of life,
not a septic tank of prejudice.
Stand messenger, stand human,
not a brainless host to malice.

The book of truth is not a book of answers,
the book of truth is a book of questions.
The book of life is not a book of laws,
the book of life is a book of conscience.

Whenever, wherever, fanaticism weaponizes fear,
human hearts gotta rise, abandoning tranquility.
Whenever chowderheads infringe on love and reason,
time be my testament – My World, My Responsibility!

Pillar of heavens I stand, composed as the Himalayas.
Persecute any community, and I am the Village Vesuvius.

Not sheep, not wolf, be human –
graduate from dogma to divinity.
Take theology out of the sky and
place it in the heart of humanity.

From stars to soil to synapses,
arrangement of atoms dictates reality.
From inanimate to animate to sapient,
humanity is an affair of cosmic serendipity.

All superstitions are practiced as truth,
all entitlement is passed on as enlightenment.
Acts of dogma are perpetrated as divinity,
love-n-reason feels dehumanizing to the intolerant.

Hallucinations are the foundation of perception,
delusions are the foundation of persecution.
Day you grow up to distinguish between the two,
you shall become a pillar of civilization.

Everybody has a right to love and happiness, any book, brain or ballot that demands otherwise, take it to the wilderness and set it free, far, far away from civilization.

Vegetables must be washed and cooked, to eliminate harmful bacteria ‘n parasites, and bring out their true nutrition – mind must be washed in compassion, and cooked in the fire of reason, to eliminate harmful biases and prejudice, and achieve our true capacity for life.

Planet earth is a planet of vegetables,
don’t let looks and suits fool you.
Only sentient beings are heathen rebels,
alive enough to question vegetable truth.

My brain is multilingual,
my heart is multicultural,
my life is multidimensional,
I exist for I dissolve in all.

You barely speak one language,
ramble doctrines from one dead book,
can’t see beyond the customs of your tribe,
yet you say, your truth is the cosmic truth!

Fanaticism is compensation for insecurity,
supremacy is compensation for inferiority.
Over a hundred books, thousands of sonnets,
half a thousand limericks, half a thousand
free verse poems, yet I still say, I’m incomplete.

It’s interesting, how every politician starts a conversation with the talk of peace, then immediately shifts to investing more in fighter jets, tanks, rifles and warheads!

Politicians are professional gaslighters, they gaslight people against people, neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother, humanity against humanity – that’s how they stay in business. And the fact that we’ve evolved from the apes, doesn’t help much – our jungle instincts of tribalism don’t need much coaxing to be blown into fully fledged war, between cultures, between religions, between nations.

The case for peace is not state vs terrorism, the case for peace is citizens vs states of earth.

Mirage mistaken as message,
when ethnic cleansing feels enlightened,
Sinai becomes septic,
Bethlehem becomes Bedlam.

Dogma decreed as divine,
when superstition feels highly sacred,
Vrindavan becomes a garbage dump,
Ayodhya becomes capital of savages.

When another’s belief is delusion,
but our belief is religion,
Mecca becomes a pilgrimage of maniacs,
Damascus becomes ulcer to civilization.

The confidence of ignorance is always
louder than the confidence of knowledge.
Truth raises more questions than answers,
whereas lies are snugly, sure and doubtless.

Atheism is a white european invention,
outside the shortsighted gutter
of eurocentrism there are people who don’t
need to believe in a creator to be holy,

you can be sacred without being superstitious,
the human world is teeming with such cultures
where life is holy, duty is holy, laughter is holy,
but of course your whitewashed, eurocentric
little intellect cannot fathom nonduality –

that’s why you mustn’t confuse intellect with wisdom,
some of the brilliant minds are first class idiots,
their binary brains have zero capacity for nuance,
they confuse the backwater fiction-centric narrative
of the church to be the entire lifespring of theology,

so naturally, either they believe like sheep
or reject like robot, because in a world of sheep
and cyborgs either there is god or there is not,
either you submit to blind faith or icecold logic,
there is no place for heart, humanity and tolerance!

Not Christ, but church doctrine was
a major downgrade in theology existing
hundreds and thousands of years prior,
at the same time, european reductionism
was a major downgrade in a wholesome
life-centric understanding of truth.

We need a life-centric understanding of truth,
not truth-centric understanding of life –
we need a human-centric realization of divine,
not divine-centric realization of human.
