“Mission over Recognition (The Sonnet)
Let me show you what is
action without expectation!
What is it to do your duty,
without regard for recognition!
Quite often I lose count of my works,
Yet I've never had a fancy book launch.
I write in silence, I release in silence,
I have no relation to praise and applause.
I am the peak of humanitarian literature,
All without an ounce of support or award.
I am not a writer, I am world reformer,
My first concern is an integrated world.
Whatever happens next, know that it had
nothing to do with the making of a mission.
It's easy to bask in the glory of the sun,
not so much to fuel solar combustion.”
― Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets
