“Pro Government or Pro Human Rights
(Earth Administrative Service, Sonnet 1304)
Either pro government or pro human rights,
A civilized human cannot be both.
Doesn't mean you're always anti government,
It means you pledge no one blanket support.
Gaza has made it more evident than ever,
No politician got the guts to rock the boat.
When the chips are down and balloon goes up,
Politicians hide behind the diplomacy door.
World leeches masquerading as world leaders,
Would sell their mothers if the price is right.
Sheeply civilians don't do much to change things,
So they seek comfort in snobbish arguments on AI.
Dump all autocratic nonsense of law-abidance,
Tell the right from wrong by conscience rule.
If you want human rights to reign supreme,
Wake up and be the world leader of your hood.”
― Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets

“It's not enough to be a national hero of one nation,
You gotta be a national hero of all nations.
That day I shall call you a human of earth,
When you are the gateway to world illumination.”
