To be or not to be,
That is not the question.
To be human or stay animal,
That is the question.
Human and animal,
What is the difference!
To be animal is to be selfish,
To be human is to go beyond the self.
There’s more to life than us and them,
There’s more to life than loss and gain.
There’s more to life than money and fame,
There’s more to life than dogmatic lanes.
To be or not to be, that is not the question.
Be sapient or stay savage, it’s your decision.

Artificial Intelligence could be
the greatest boon in accessibility,
yet AI enthusiasm is exhausted in
grotesque plagiarism and pomposity.

Tech giants of today suffer
from the worst kind of handicap
of all, lack of human perspective.
Till you treat this common coldness,
all innovation is mere fancy gimmick.

Innovation has power to lift the world,
yet it has become toys of privilege.
Cyborg souls sell cyborg machines,
beastly grotesque and senseless.

Once upon a time in the future,
robovans will carry robo-sapiens,
apes advanced in feats of silicon,
yet degraded in feats of sentience.

If a 3 pound brain can contain
a 100 billion nerve cells,
a planet with land the size of 20bn stadiums
should have room for 10 billion people.

Then how come, so many
have to survive on so little,
on a planet this size, this rich!

It all comes down to hoarding – if we
cared more about social responsibility
than social etiquette, we wouldn’t have
such drastic paradoxes of disparity.

In English we say:
proof of the pudding is in the eating.
In Naskarian we say:
proof of the Sapiens is in the sharing.
