Khalsa isn’t Khalistan (The Sonnet) | Greatest Country on Earth is Earth
Khalsa means freedom from hate,
Khalistan means nationalizing hate.
Christ stands for love and compassion,
Christian nationalism is Christ’s death.
Sanatana Dharma is advaita sanskriti,
that is, a culture of nonsectarianism,
Hindutva means mindless saffronization.
Islam means working for peace and welfare,
Islamism is the ruin of synchronization.
Intolerance is a worldwide pandemic,
only terminologies vary culture to culture.
Vaccine for the mightiest swords of hate,
is the gentle glint of one heart, hatebuster.
Give me ten unarmed transformers of love and light,
I shall wipe out hate from its roots of fright.

Unspoken Truths (The Sonnet) | Greatest Country on Earth is Earth
Democracy is people-approved dictatorship,
Military is people-approved genocide.
Atom bombs are people-approved armageddon,
In conscience-court all guilty of homicide.
There is no time left, for there never was time,
Time begins with the beginning of civilization.
And civilization is something we are yet to find,
Hence, there is no question of clock progression.
Nationalist chimps sell war in the name of security,
Stoneage civilians rush to bulk-buy graveyard plots.
Merchant of murder, you, yell about peacekeeping,
While you feast on nationalism like wet little cods!
When cavemen take pride in their national glory of death,
Sanctuary becomes asylum for the lunatic walking dead!

4th of July Declaration | Tum Dunya Tek Millet
In one of my early works I once wrote, “America is a great country, built by great people”. And it took me some time to look through the fallacy of this statement. I could still justify it by saying, it depends on the context – which would be technically true. But my dignity, my conscience, my morality – everything that is civilized in me, has been eating me alive for some time now over this one statement. Because if we throw away all technicality and look from a simple, everyday human perspective – nothing about the the birth of America is great – America is a terrorist nation, built by terrorists who invaded other people’s land, stripped them of their homes, and built a spin-off of the ruthless British empire over their blood and bones. You think America’s homeless problem is something new! It’s not – America has been making people homeless ever since the pilgrims set foot in Plymouth Rock. The pilgrims were not pioneers, they were terrorists.
99 percent of the world’s warzones are the legacy of white, western imperialism. Until you get your head around this simple fact, your views, your opinion, your advocacy, all are worthless to the peace struggles of these “westsploited” nations.
In the modern age no other country has wrecked more nations than America. Like father, like son – first it was England, then it’s its rebellious runaway child America. That’s why China is such an enemy in the westwashed narrative of the world – because when one nation has somewhat maintained an autocratic control over the planet since the 1800s (under the banner of “Manifest Destiny”), it would never want that control be undermined by another budding power – particularly when that power is far superior in infrastructure. Sure, the state of China tries to influence every move of its people, that’s the first unwritten rule in the handbook of “democracy” – but Uncle Sam has been manipulating the moves of every single state for over two hundred years. Now tell me, which state should you be more cautious of?
No country is free from human rights violation, but America’s share in global transgressions is right at the very top. America is the top exporter of humanitarian crisis in the world, and as such, US is the least qualified nation to be the moral guardian on anything.
It doesn’t matter whether you are white, colored or martian – denial never solves nothing. To treat a disease we must first acknowledge the disease. And what is the disease? Is it white people – is it whiteness? No – whiteness is not the disease, but white imperialism is. And how do you treat this disease? You gotta strip yourself of all the privileges of skin, and make yourself one with the world – you gotta denounce the privilege of your whiteness and embrace the responsibility of your humanness. Only then, shall there be peace in the world – only then, shall there be integration – only then, shall there be a civilized world to begin with.

Sapionova, Sonnet 1195 | Sapionova
They say, nobody is above the law,
I say, I am.
They say, nobody is above grammar,
I say, I am.
All are barred to break status quo,
Yet I do on a daily basis.
All are tamed to be rats without roar,
Yet I write my own moralities.
In a world run by do’s and don’ts,
Wield your backbone and find your way.
Animals may need the crutch of custom,
By the feet of humans new roads are paved.
Question of should comes from principles,
It must never be a matter of convenience.
Sapient principles are living principles,
Not those inherited through dead lineage.
Sapiens is the question, sapiens is the answer.
When all live as neanderthal, be the sapionova.
I say, I am.
They say, nobody is above grammar,
I say, I am.
All are barred to break status quo,
Yet I do on a daily basis.
All are tamed to be rats without roar,
Yet I write my own moralities.

By the feet of humans new roads are paved.

Sonnet 1152 | Visvavictor
In Korea, I am Ingan –
In Turkiye, I am Insan.
In Latam, Soy Humano –
In North America, I’m Human.
In hindi, I am Khichdi*,
A *hodge-podge of cultures,
Few have the mind to stomach,
while tribals feel perturbed.
Life is love, love is life –
all other existence is null and void.
World is love, love is the world –
all other paradigm is poison voyage.

What’s left of you | Visvavictor
When brain stops,
When heart stops,
What is left of you?
When eyes fail,
When memory fails,
What is left of you?
When your last molecule
has merged with nature,
What is left of you?
That’s what you’ve really achieved –
Testament to the fact that,
there ever was a you.

Jai Ho (Sonnet 1165) | Visvavictor
Jai Ho to all the beings,
Who ain’t hypnotized with hate!
Jai Ho to all the beings,
Who ain’t living in cavemen days!
Jai Ho to the luchadors,
Who struggle por la igualdad!
Jai Ho to the reformers,
Who value rights over ritual!
Space may be the final frontier,
But heart is the first frontier.
Unless we first conquer the heart,
We’ll turn the cosmos into dumpyard.
So I salute, to all explorers of heart!
Jai Ho to the janitors of our cosmic courtyard!
Who ain’t hypnotized with hate!
Jai Ho to all the beings,
Who ain’t living in cavemen days!
Jai Ho to the luchadors,
Who struggle por la igualdad!
Jai Ho to the reformers,
Who value rights over ritual!
Space may be the final frontier,
But heart is the first frontier.
Unless we first conquer the heart,
We’ll turn the cosmos into dumpyard.
So I salute, to all explorers of heart!
Jai Ho to the janitors of our cosmic courtyard!
Sonnet 1147 | Visvavictor
Only way to grow together as a couple,
is to nourish each other’s individual growth.
Only way to grow together as a society,
is to empower each other’s personal growth.
Learn from Manu, Majnun, Vyas and M.A.S.H,
Absorb all good like an eager sponge.
Tradition of tribe has outstayed its welcome,
Now outgrow the fences across fearful hunch.
Na desi, na videsi,
Banna hai to bano visvadesi.
Bohot aye despar marnevaale,
Des ke par chalo sudhare
insani zindagi.
Ni local, ni extranjero,
Simplemente seamos humano.
Más allá de la patria,
más allá de la muerte,
Vivamos como un planeta pueblo.
Ni obediente, ni opresivo –
Luchando por igualdad seremos humano.

Hijab and Habit (Sonnet 1185) | Visvavictor
Hijab and Habit are both
symbols of sacred humility,
Yet the latter receives respect,
while the former faces cruelty.
Christ is a revered figure to the muslims,
Yet muslims are frowned upon by christians.
Most christians are plain unchristian,
They are the cause of Christ’s crucifixion.
In the world of animal holiness,
Crucifixion continues in different form.
Bigotry once killed a vessel of love,
His pupils continue the hate and harm.
I have zero tolerance for intolerance,
whether from intellectual atheists
or mindless fundamentalists.
Facts and faith both gotta earn admittance,
by causing not crippling humane uplift.

Justice Beyond Month (Sonnet 1182) | Visvavictor
Pride that ends with the end of June,
is but an episode of looney tunes.
Divergence that dies with April’s wake,
is no inclusion but bark of buffoons.
Black history that ends with the end of February,
is not solidarity but a hashtag cacophony.
Women’s history that ends with the end of March,
is no celebration but a sacrilege of equality.
When AAPI are only visible in the month of May,
It ain’t no visibility but a mockery of life.
When nativeness is welcome till October 15th,
It ain’t integration but desecration of light.
Awareness is justice when it reduces prejudice.
But one that’s trendy only in specific months,
is no awareness but a different kind of malice.
Acceptance is awareness, awareness is life.
100 calendars fall short to celebrate mindlight.
