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!

Over the years, quite a few sonnets never saw the light of day, because every time I write something radical, I always ask myself three questions – first, is it true – second, is it kind – and finally, is it necessary? And often it’s at the final question, that I’m reluctantly compelled to press delete on quite a few texts. Yet I don’t regret it, in fact, once I do delete that bit of my creation, I feel a huge load off my back – because, my mission is not mindless radicalism, my mission is mindful humanizing of the world. In the absence of heart, even truth becomes mindless – and the mindless never know they’re mindless, they feel like it’s an act of courage.
