“I am no insect of the gutter that can be identified by the puny two directions, east and west – I am time – I am space – I am the very dimension of life, love and unity.”
“Poet of A Planet (The Sonnet)
I am not the poet of a nation,
I am the poet of a planet.
I don’t do just one culture,
Assimilation is the prime tenet.
Hence my work repels nationalists,
Like the sun repels the nightcrawlers,
While it attracts expanding beings,
Like the amazon attracts explorers.
If you wanna hear how great your culture is,
Go read some fundamentalist fiction.
I don’t write for prehistoric barbarians,
To put it bluntly, I write for modern humans.
I repeat, I’m not the poet of a single nation.
I am but the living proof of amalgamation.”
