Humans Are Defined (The Sonnet) | Mücadele Muhabbet
Vegetables are defined,
By the comfort they crave,
Humans are defined,
By the obstacles they brave.
Absence of obstacles,
Is not a sign of achievement.
Absence of obstacles,
Indicates a lack of movement.
Even the mountains bow,
But not for self-absorbed snobs.
Oceans part making way,
Only for those not afraid of storms.
Awake, arise o soldier of valiance and valor.
Sleep not, slacken not, the world is in your care.

Peygamber Undercover (Sonnet of Accountability) | Sermon of Sustainability
Everywhere I look, there’s apocalypse!
Everywhere I look, there’s inhumanity!
We have slept like a log long enough!
It’s time for the human to embody humanity!
Still if you ask out of fear and insecurity,
What can you one person do to bring change!
Mark my words, if you are really determined,
You could part the ocean with sheer intent.
You have the power to turn this ailing world,
Into a world of laughter and loveliness.
The question is, are you a responsible human,
Or just another crummy vessel of recklessness?
Whatever the trouble may be, you are the answer.
In this difficult time, you are peygamber undercover.
“Yeni Peygamber (Sorumluluk Şiiri)
Her yerde hayvan!
Her yerde kıyamet!
Yeter ceset gibi uyumak!
İnsan insan olmalı, zaman geldi!
Yine de eğer sen bana sorarsan,
Tek başına ne yapabilirsin!
Gerçekten istiyorsan, tek başına,
Dünyaya insanlığı öğretebilirsin.
Eğer istersen, tek başına, insanların,
Ağlamayı gülümsemeye dönüştürebilirsin.
Asıl soru, sen sorumlu bir insan mısın,
Yoksa insan görünümlü bir hayvan mısın?
Uyan kardeşim, her hayvanlığa cevap sensin.
Bu zor zamanda dünyanın yeni peygamber sensin.”

Holy Trinity (The Sonnet) | Amantes Assemble
Civilization is founded on 3 pillars,
Conscience, courage and compassion.
Without these three there is no society,
Only a prehistoric mockery of civilization.
When all three come together, lo and behold,
Here rises the holy trinity – the holy trident!
You can use it to plough the land of creation,
Or abuse it to devour the divisions most obstinate.
Wasting precious lifeforce chanting like a parrot,
Do not go chasing fiction out in the wilderness.
Wipe the rust off your heart that causes all the drag,
And you my friend, shall be the incorruptible trident.
However, in reality, there are no three, but only one.
The spirit of love and oneness is beyond time and form.

Welcome to Earth (World Tourism Sonnet) | Sermon of Sustainability
When you are down with doubts sit down,
For lessons of revolution from the Americas.
When you are beginning to have cold feet,
Siphon some much needed resilience from Africa.
When your heart is beginning to turn cold,
Have a rejuvenating swim in the warmth of Asia.
When clouds of gloom start to grab hold,
Breathe in some fresh air from Australia.
Whenever the bickering goes overboard,
Draw some lessons of unity from Europe.
Whatever it is you seek my friend,
We just might be able to satisfy your hope.
Come visit us sometime, on our little blue dot.
We are the beings of love, light and colors,
as such we often go overboard.

Character No Commodity (The Sonnet) | Mücadele Muhabbet
Character, I say, is no commodity,
To be traded in for luxury.
Integrity, I say, is no commodity,
To be traded in for security,
Virtues, I say, are no commodity,
To be traded in for applause.
Values, I say, are no commodity,
To be traded in for comfort.
Warmth, I say, is no commodity,
To be traded in for image.
Humility, I say, is no commodity,
To be traded in for respect.
A life without honor, I say,
Is a life totally gone astray.
To be traded in for luxury.

Mission Immortal (The Sonnet) | Mücadele Muhabbet
You can put an end to my life,
But you can’t wipe out my light.
You can break all of my limbs,
But you can never break my might.
My might comes from my conviction,
My light comes from my oneness.
Body is just a vessel for the mission,
Mission that is immortal and timeless.
For the mission to turn into reality,
All reality must be turned the mission.
Living in body we live a few decades,
Living in mission we turn immortal.
So let us put all self-preservation aside,
Forgetting limelight let us be timelight.
But you can’t wipe out my light.
You can break all of my limbs,
But you can never break my might.
My might comes from my conviction,
My light comes from my oneness.
Body is just a vessel for the mission,

For the mission to turn into reality,
All reality must be turned the mission.
Living in body we live a few decades,
Living in mission we turn immortal.
So let us put all self-preservation aside,
Forgetting limelight let us be timelight.

Honor He Wrote Sonnet 100
All meditate on symbols,
I meditate on people.
Most worship fictitious deities,
I worship those branded unliftable.
People are my almighty,
Oneness is my religion,
Division is degradation,
Unification is illumination.
All is possible for a human who’s responsible,
Only the indifferent make excuses.
Possibility is born of responsibility,
Not of whining, praying and limbless wishes.
Real and unreal, put all these talk aside.
Let us be civilization, let us be lifelight.

Sonnet of Consumerism | Giants in Jeans
Ever wonder in a world of consumerism,
Who’s the consumer, who’s the product!
You may think that you are the one owning things,
But it’s the things that own you, head and heart.
When unmoderated materialism is the world’s norm,
Consumer is the product, product does the consuming.
And this insanity is revered as industrial growth,
Then they wonder, why is there so much suffering!
The point is, your insecurity is good for business,
The shallower you are, the more your pocket empties.
But if you don’t wanna end up at la casa de loco,
Stop living in products and focus on memories.
Corporations chasing revenue cause economic disparity.
Buy less, buy local, to construct a sustainable economy.
Who’s the consumer, who’s the product!
You may think that you are the one owning things,
But it’s the things that own you, head and heart.
When unmoderated materialism is the world’s norm,
Consumer is the product, product does the consuming.
And this insanity is revered as industrial growth,
Then they wonder, why is there so much suffering!
The point is, your insecurity is good for business,
The shallower you are, the more your pocket empties.
But if you don’t wanna end up at la casa de loco,
Stop living in products and focus on memories.
Corporations chasing revenue cause economic disparity.
Buy less, buy local, to construct a sustainable economy.

Diversity is No Gimmick (The Sonnet) | High Voltage Habib
Diversity is no gimmick,
Diversity is no belief.
Diversity is life itself,
Diversity is uplift.
Diversity is sanity,
Diversity is joy.
Diversity is monsoon,
After a drought most dry.
There ain’t no humanity,
If there is no diversity.
We ain’t no human,
If inside we have no amity.
It ain’t enough to talk of toleration!
Each of us is to be the vessel of unification.
Diversity is no belief.
