Healers Don’t Exist (The Sonnet)
Healers don't exist,
Only humans do.
Once you step outside the self,
You'll see the world anew.
Gods don't exist,
Only goodness does.
Prayers may soothe your soul,
Action is what change requires.
Psychics don't exist,
But sanctity is everywhere.
Once you stop conning your soul,
The bridge ahead will vividly appear.
When the heart awakens from superstition,
Everybody will be hometown human.
Only humans do.

Sonnet of Traditions
Society must shed its dead traditions,
Like one sheds dead skin.
Anything that lives must evolve,
For stagnation is death's twin.
The difference between life and death,
Lies in the desire for evolution.
Fancy rags on a prehistoric mind,
Makes way for a horrific extinction.
Other animals lack brain power,
To overcome shortcomings and be better.
But the jelly inside the human skull,
Can take us on an endless adventure.
All that is old is not necessarily gold.
Accepting yesterday’s good move ahead bold.

Sonnet of Stagnation
Stagnated water breeds disease,
When in motion it breathes life.
Stagnated mind breeds segregation,
When in motion it breaks divide.
Stagnated air breeds pollution,
When in motion it brings rejuvenation.
Stagnated ideas breed prejudice,
When in motion they bring illumination.
We are not a species, we are a family,
A stagnated psyche cannot feel its delight.
Open your eyes from your rigid sleep,
In your vision the world will unite.
All animals are bound to live in stagnation.
Only human neurons hold the capacity for expansion.

Vibration and Frequency (The Sonnet) | Gospel of An Unarmed Soldier
Surpass the nonsense of vibration,
Surpass the nonsense of frequency.
Come down to the land of mortals,
Embrace the heart’s simple beauty.
Science is science, sentiment is sentiment,
In rationalizing sentiment one breeds superstition.
There is no vibration to love and community,
There is no frequency to uplift and unification.
Cleanse your mind of all imitation science,
Just like you ought to do with bigoted holiness.
Trading in one blindness for another is no sanctity,
Replacing one superstition with another is no science.
With the rise of oneness, theories wither and fade away.
But if things are opposite, know that you are going astray.
Surpass the nonsense of frequency.

Baseball builds more character than bible. Abhijit Naskar
“Freedom of religion can exist only,
Where there is religion of freedom.
Freedom of love can exist only,
Where there is love of freedom.
Freedom of choice can exist only,
Where there is choice of freedom.
Freedom of being can exist only,
Where there are beings of freedom.”
“If the bible comes and peddles phobia,
I’ll burn such bible to ashes.
If the koran comes and peddles violence,
I’ll tear up such koran to pieces.
If the vedas come and peddle superstition,
I’ll crush such filth to pulp with my foot.
If the constitution comes and peddles war,
As concerned parent I’ll grab their makers,
And spank out all their dormant good.
Even if some two-bit God comes,
And peddles division,
I’ll divide him so many times,
Even to his apostles,
He’ll bear no recognition.
And a little word of advise to those,
Priming their guns, swords and tridents.
When a volcano erupts,
Insects are supposed to run,
Not hide behind bows, arrows and bibles.
Brain is mightier than bullets,
Heart is mightier than the homunculus.
When a 3 pound brain falls on bigoted bugs,
There is no running, only burning to cinders.”

Roots and Chains | Amor Apocalypse
Culture can either further the cause of life,
Or it can hinder life, love and liberty.
If it hinders, it belongs in the dump,
If it furthers, it is an ally of humanity.
Rigidity is drag on expansion,
For it makes chains out of roots.
Roots give ground beneath our feet,
While chains only cripple all our move.
Even a flower can’t survive in last week’s water,
Yet you expect the mind to thrive that way.
Let the mind fly higher than known heights,
And all light and life will find their way.
With all our understanding of the speed of light,
We’re yet to cross the distance from heart to heart.
With all our fancy equipment of communication,
We are yet to listen to those unheard.
Or it can hinder life, love and liberty.
If it hinders, it belongs in the dump,
If it furthers, it is an ally of humanity.
Rigidity is drag on expansion,

While chains only cripple all our move.

Let the mind fly higher than known heights,
And all light and life will find their way.
With all our understanding of the speed of light,
We’re yet to cross the distance from heart to heart.
With all our fancy equipment of communication,
We are yet to listen to those unheard.
Republicans and Christian Terrorism | Divane Dynamite
Republicans are the Taliban of the West.
“Thank You Republicans (The Sonnet)
Thank you republicans, for acting,
As the perfect example of primitivity.
Thank you republicans, for standing,
As the picture of unchristianity.
Thank you republicans, for behaving,
As the definition of new age terrorism.
Thank you for being the personification,
Of ignorance, prejudice and divisionism.
Thank you republicans, for serving,
As a sickening example of superstition.
Thank you for providing the lowest bar,
Against which we can measure human ascension.
Thanks for being everything a human must never be.
Thank you republicans, for demonstrating what is inhumanity.”
“Republicans are the Taliban of the West. But please don’t hate them. Now more than ever they need our help, for they are ill, terribly ill. They are suffering from a condition, I call, Clinical Caucasianitis, or White Supremacy Syndrome. So next time you see one, offer them a flower and say – get well soon!
In a way (sarcastically speaking), no other political party on earth has done more to eliminate Islamophobia than the republican party, by boldly revealing themselves to the world as the face of new age christian terrorism. Finally, thanks to the republicans, the people of planet earth get to relive the atrocious days and ominous nights of the roman catholic crusades – which by the way, is the very antithesis of Christ’s “love thy neighbor” – just like it is the antithesis of something Mohammed said – that Muslims should help their neighbors rebuild their churches, synagogues and monasteries if they burn down (22:40 Quran).
The point is, one who has integration in their heart, will find integration everywhere, but those who have nothing but hate in their heart, will remain hateful no matter how many messengers of love come and go.”

Brave, Sound & Sane (The Sonnet) | Divane Dynamite
Brave is not the one who has no dark corners in their mind,
Brave is the one who is friends with their dark corners.
Courageous is not the one who never sheds a single tear,
Courageous is the one who draws strength from their tears.
A sound mind is not one that has no superstition,
A sound mind is one that has a grip over its superstition.
A sane mind is not one that does not believe in fiction,
A sane mind is one that knows good fiction from bad fiction.
Education is needed, but not mere education of the head,
What’s really needed is education of the whole being.
It is easy to fill the head with facts and figures,
Use a fact to lift the world, then you’re an educated being.
More than in head and body, we gotta grow up in heart.
A billion pounds of head is worthless, if there is no heart.

Sonnet of Unlearning (The Sonnet) | Divane Dynamite
Peace is not a matter of learning harmony,
It’s about unlearning division.
Science is not about learning logic,
It’s about unlearning superstition.
Health is not about learning medicine,
It’s about unlearning over-indulgence.
Justice is not about learning accountability,
It’s about unlearning indifference.
Order is not about learning law,
It’s about unlearning recklessness.
Holiness is not about learning scripture,
It’s about unlearning hatefulness.
More than learning, we got plenty to unlearn.
All of it starts with unsubmission to tradition.
It’s about unlearning division.
Science is not about learning logic,
It’s about unlearning superstition.

We Are Turkiye (The Sonnet) / Biz Türkiye (Bilim Adamının Şiiri) | Vande Vasudhaivam
“We Are Turkiye (The Sonnet)
Earthquake may shatter our houses,
But it can never shatter our hearts.
We shall rise from the rubble once again,
We shall build back against nature’s curse.
But this time let us build back better,
By putting our faith in science not politics.
We could’ve averted such cataclysmic terror,
Had we heeded the warnings of scientists.
A scientist works to preserve life,
Politician plays publicity with death.
Given the choice between the two,
Listen to the scientist without wait.
Why do people have to die
for us to open our eyes!
If we still fail to heed reason,
nothing will stop the funeral cries.”
“Biz Türkiye (Bilim Adamının Şiiri)
Deprem binalarımızı yıkabilir,
Ama hiçbir deprem umudumuzu kıramaz.
Enkazdan biz yeniden yükseleceğiz,
Hiçbir felaket bizi köle yapamaz.
Gelin, milletimizi daha iyi inşa edelim,
Bu sefer siyasete değil bilime güvenelim.
Eğer bilimin uyarılarını dinleseydik,
Böyle bir felaketi önleyebilirdik.
Bilim insanı hayatı korumak için çalışır,
Politikacı ölümle politika oynar.
Herhangi bir karar vermen gerekiyorsa,
Bilim adamını dinleyerek karar ver.
Gözümüzü açabilmemiz için neden
insanların ölmesi gerekiyor?
Hala mantıklı davranmazsak,
cenazeler hiç durmuyor.”
