Look At The Stars (The Sonnet) | The Gentalist
Look up my friend, look at the stars,
You know some of them exploded long ago.
Yet their light keeps shining even when they’re gone,
For none of their rays is tainted by ego.
Not a kernel of kindness ever goes to waste,
Not a gesture of gentleness ever goes awry.
The unselfish one is the happiest person in the world,
You’ll find joy when you answer someone’s cry.
You’re thirsty, you seek a glass of water,
That is just plain necessity.
Someone else is thirsty, you share your last glass,
That my friend, is plain humanity.
When self-preservation turns trivial, ‘n humanity common sense,
That’s when a star is born, amidst all self-serving nuisance.

People Over Path (The Sonnet) | The Gentalist
Celebrities defend vanity,
Intellectuals defend intellect,
Preachers defend scriptures,
Scientists defend factual evidence.
I found plenty of human professions,
But in none of them I found a human.
All are obsessed to defend their path,
Yet all paths are dead without a human.
No matter who we are or what we are,
Above all else our identity is humanness.
If this simple fact is still not clear enough,
All vanity, intellect, texts and science are baseless.
Before defending a puny path, let us take a human peek.
If we must defend, let us defend the helpless and weak.

Beauty Ain’t Beauty (The Sonnet) | Bulldozer on Duty
Beauty is not in the eye of the beholder,
Beauty is in the heart of the beholder.
Eyes have evolved not to perceive beauty,
But to look for a fertile progenitor.
All instincts of beauty are prehistoric,
All impulse of attraction is mere heat.
Such tendency is an act of animal libido,
It has nothing to do with human heartbeat.
If you wanna discover someone’s beauty,
You gotta throw the dirt off your heart.
Observe their behavior outside the body,
Only then shall you witness true beauty’s path.
Across the vacuum of body lies the valley of beauty.
Defy the vacuum, and you’ll realize, beauty is divinity.

Civilization is Not A Place (The Sonnet) | Gospel of Undoctrination
No matter who likes it not,
Say Gay anyway.
Compliance to discrimination,
Is the coward’s way.
A true leader once said, women belong in,
All places where decisions are being made.
I say, fudge it all,
Women just belong, period.
They say, they don’t want their kids,
To be hurt learning history.
I say, if learning history makes you hurt,
You are in dire need of therapy.
Civilization begins when we acknowledge our primitiveness.
Civilization is not a place, it’s a people, it’s a process.

Law of Light (The Sonnet) | The Gentalist
Light shared is light amplified,
Light hoarded is light lost.
Life is light when lived for others,
Darkness when lost in snobbish cause.
We are truly knowledgeable,
When our knowledge annuls animosity.
We truly have existence solely when,
We exist to elevate all of humanity.
Elevation of humanity happens,
One neighborhood at a time.
Time and space have meaning,
Only when they help our spirits align.
In short, there is neither time nor space.
Either everything is love or sheer nonsense.
Light hoarded is light lost.

We Are All Fundamentally Racist | Buldozer on Duty
“We Are All Racist (The Sonnet)
If we are still uncomfortable to face,
The roots of racism, how can we uproot racism!
Unless we recognize our tendency for division,
How can we ever be the cause of universalism!
The fundamental fact of human nature is,
We are a septic tank of prehistoric biases.
Sectarianism comes to us far too easily,
For we are all fundamentally racist.
Cruelty is the mainspring of survival in the wild,
So our brain leans more towards cruelty than kindness.
Millions of years of conditioning won’t vanish overnight,
We must self-regulate with our newly developed conscience.
The end of racism starts with the recognition of racism.
We are civilized only when we recognize our uncivilization.”

Sonnet of Human Resources | Amantes Assemble
There is no blue collar, no white collar, just honor.
And honor is defined by character not collar.
There is no CEO, no janitor, just people.
Person’s worth lies, not in background, but behavior.
Designation is reference to expertise, not existence.
Respect is earned through rightful action, not label.
Designation without humanity is resignation of humanity,
For all labels without love cause nothing but trouble.
The term human resources is a violation of human rights.
For it designates people as possession of a company.
Computers are resources, staplers are resources, but people,
Aren’t resources, but the soul of all company and society.
I’m not saying, you oughta rephrase it all in a civilized way.
But at the very least, it’s high time with hierarchy we do away.

Fantasy and Responsibility (The Sonnet) | Amantes Assemble
Fantasy is good so long as it doesn’t make us,
Oblivious to our responsibility of reality.
Imagination expands the mind for sure,
Only when it empowers our acts of accountability.
Growing up in India, I did not have superman,
But I did indulge religiously in some shaktimaan.
I don’t know whether it influenced my making,
But it sure did fill my childhood with fascination.
People draw inspiration from different places,
That’s a normal tenet of the mind, not a violation.
But inspiration is inspiration only when it leads,
To collective uplift, otherwise it’s just delusion.
Fantasy is healthy when practiced with moderation.
Too much fiction paralyzes responsibility and reason.

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.
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.

My Dear Nazi (The Sonnet) | Bulldozer on Duty
My dear nazis old and new,
While there is time change your view.
If I get my hands on you,
No savior will do nothing for you.
I am unarmed, I am unbent,
Yet on my conviction you can’t make a dent.
You may need guns to hide your impotence,
As for me, my backbone is my source of strength.
Exclusivity and supremacy belong in stoneage,
Society is modernized only with expansion.
Monocultural glorification is a moronic habit,
Human is born when all tribalism is abandoned.
Nazi dear, nazi dear, enough with domination!
Come this way, hold my hand, I am your absolution.
