A cup is just crockery
till there is coffee in it.
A head is just a skull
till there’s a mind in it.

Clothes are just fabric
till there’s a character in ’em.
Shoes are just footwear
till there’s a journey in ’em.

Chest is just a bunch of bones
till there’s a heart in it.
A body is just a bag of flesh
till there’s a being in it.

Keep struggling, o brave soldier – keep struggling till politicians become an extinct species and politics an extinct profession. The mission is, not to replace old world mindlessness with new world mindlessness, but to put an end to all forms of brainless authoritarianism selected randomly on the basis of charisma and popularity by hysterical whim.

The mission, I repeat, is to build a one world family, not one world government. Till the very word “government” is nowhere to be found but in books on ancient tribal rituals, keep on struggling, O Sapiens Impossible!

You are unity, you are trinity,
You are the end of all animosity!
You are able, always accountable,
You are the measure of living sanity!

Live each day of your life,
as proof of love and oneness.
Cause inclusion defying prejudice,
You are the cure for divisiveness.

North, South, East, West,
Abandon all primitive divide.
Your culture is my culture,
Together alone shall we thrive!

They say, time and tide wait for none,
Lest the bird learns it can fly.
The best way to control apes is,
To make them feel guilty for their light.

They say, dead men tell no tale, and yet,
We live our lives based on dead men’s tale.
It is okay to tell tales if it enhances sight,
But not the kind that produces a walking hell.

There is no divide when we are alive,
Divisions exist only in kingdom of the dead.
We are divided because we are dead,
Come to life, and all divides will be deleted.

Let us write a new tale with the spirit of life.
Instead of celebrating death,
let’s celebrate each other’s light.

God is all in the mind,
What’s wrong with that!
Art is also all in the mind,
So, is art nothing but dirt!

Yes, plenty harm has been done,
In the name of God.
The same can be said,
About science and art.

Dividers will always divide,
Haters will always hate.
Apes will find one excuse or another,
To justify their authoritarian trait.

For example, 9/11 wasn’t religion’s fault,
Any more than Hiroshima was science’s fault.

Unbound by tradition,
Unbound by biases,
Unbound by belief,
Unbound by loyalties,

Unbound by logicality,
Unbound by assumption,
Unbound by selfishness,
Unbound by argumentation,

Unbound by intellect,
Unbound by ignorance,
Unbound by arrogance,
Unbound by indifference.

This is how we rise human,
This is how we find communion.

Humans be human, alive and aware,
not tokens of ancestral blunder.
Awake, arise and right the wrongs,
whether in the west or down under.

We gotta fight on the beaches,
We gotta fight on human grounds.
This time we gotta fight as human,
not as puppets to colonial clowns.

Fight as brave lions for sacred inclusivity,
not for saffronication as domesticated cows.
Fight for justice, rejuvenated by reason,
not for prejudice, decreed by apeman vows.

Only the shape of colonialism
has changed, not the nature.
Tendencies are just as filthy,
rightful heir to animal disaster.

I too am a colonizer,
but of a different kind.
I colonize no home by force,
with words I colonize minds.

Humanitarianism is civilized colonialism –
simpler still, humanitarianism is civilization.
That’s the contagion my literature carries,
through my proses and sonnetic revelation.

First thousand were an accident,
Second thousand, a promise.
Answer to traditional animosity,
Antidote to doting prejudice.
