I am but a human who's got no name,
Simply alive in the land of liberty,
I am but a human who talks no lame,
Simply communicates with utter serenity,
I am but a human who despises harming,
No matter what some books command,
I am but a human who loves not blaming,
No matter how much my peers demand,
I am but a human who lives not in history,
Simply breathes in the now and here,
I am but a human who's curious in mystery,
And loves to investigate forged with questionnaire,
I am but a human teeming with awareness beyond all race and clans,
I am but a human whose religion is liberty and god the humans.

Naked I dance here in delight,
I am not wearing name, fame or stature.
All I am wearing is a smile of humaneness,
Isn't that what matters in human nature!
I need no faith, nation or intellect,
Nor do I need illusive pomp and ceremony.
I am happy being a human above all,
I'll stay that way forever exuding harmony.
Tried a lot many countries, races and religions,
To tie me up with their rugged exclusivities.
But my heart is too grand for any one sect,
So I dance naked without any cultural amenities.
Come join me if you like my sisters and brothers,
United we’ll free the world of all tribal attires.

Secularism has three stages. First, you realize, all religions pray to the same God. Second, you realize, God exists only in the human heart. Finally, all talk of God disappears, and what remains among the humans, is a natural sense of oneness.

Discipline of the Sikh,
Enthusiasm of the Christian,
Brotherhood of the Muslim,
Nonviolence of the Jain,
Senility of the Buddhist,
Groundedness of the Hindu,
Rationality of the Atheist,
Resilience of the Jew –

Take the good from everyone,
Mind expands through assimilation.
Past errors mustn’t continue as tradition,
Oneness is divinity, division is damnation.

Kainat** is my qaum*,
Universe is my aum.
Carrying **cosmos in my chest,
every *community is my home.

Sat* is my nam-e,
*Honesty, my identity.
I am the one who is,
reflection of all humanity.

Bodhi* and dharma** are key to life,
lifting us high above the animals.
*Awareness wakes us to divine vision,
**Duty is the seed of civilization.

Valley of life is without elite divide,
Science, philosophy, divine, all are one.
Scientist, Poet, Dervish, or Philosopher,
Adjectives though plenty, noun is but one.

I am love, I am tolerance,
I’m the opposite of imposition.
I am equality, I am integration,
I’m the opposite of compulsion.

My mother is Amina,
so is Yashoda, and Mary.
Every mother is divine mother –
there is no first or last, for
every child is messenger to humanity.

Fight not each other over my existence,
fight instead against inhuman advances.
Fight not over petty scriptures riddled
with simian folly, call forth the divine
within – be forthright in treating prejudice.

I am love, I am tolerance, I am what
bigoted monkeys mock as woke and DEI.
No matter what dogmatic primates believe,
prisons of doctrines are not my paradise.

Love who you like,
stay single if you choose.
Have kids when you like,
or abort if you choose.

Keep god or not as you need,
convert to whatever you like.
There is no other grand design,
except a beautiful human mind.

What you believe or don’t is of no
consequence, one true god or another.
Imaginary friends are often therapeutic,
just don’t thrust your friend on another.

In my heart there is Mecca,
in my heart there is Bethlehem.
Humans come first, gods are disposable,
human choice is the God commandment.

Cosmos is colored,
all color is kin.
Scarlight makes the mind,
sunlight makes the skin.

Life is nonbinary,
existence is nonbiblical.
When ‘sacred’ is anagram for ‘scared’,
to sin is our Earth Gospel.

Churchill and Columbus belong in the jungle,
loudmouth karens belong in mental institution.
Those who’ve been to the mountaintop,
grow too human for the dunghills of dogma.

Here at the mountaintop, we’re just humans –
no black, no white, no believer, nonbeliever –
here at the mountaintop, we’re each other’s keeper.

If Jesus didn’t exist,
Moses didn’t exist,
Mohammed didn’t exist,
Vyas and Sid didn’t exist,
I’ll still stand just as divine,
just as alive, just as human.

If the bible didn’t exist,
koran didn’t exist,
torah didn’t exist,
and vedas didn’t exist,
I’ll still stand just as sacred,
just as aware, just as human.

If I didn’t exist, my writings didn’t exist,
stand human anyway, within you is the ore.
Don’t outsource, you are the source,
feet rooted in soil, not shackled in folklore.
