“My Pronoun is People
(Inclusivity Sonnet, 1266)

My pronoun is people,
I'm divergent, yet invincible.
I am straight, I am queer;
I am civilian, I am seer.
Spirit of life, I - am universal!

Call me disabled or differently able,
Call me collective or individual.
Fleshly forms I've got plenty,
All run by same love and liberty -
Culture supreme is inclusion.

Each heart is a shelter for another,
Each life is sanctuary for another.
Blasting all traditions of divide
into cinders with knowledge-dynamite,
we shall emerge as each other's keeper.

You ask, what am I - I say, I am human,
Better yet, I'm human's idea of a human.
I am but the human absolute -
morally unbending 'n divinely cute -
ever evolving testament to expansion.”

“Don't Have to Agree, to Love (Sonnet 1347)

You don't have to agree with a person
completely, to love them - accept them.
There are a few, I disagree with plenty,
yet till death, I'll fight for them.

yet I love Mevlana like my own brother.
Even more of Aquinas are out of date,
yet like a friend I love my Thomas.

Heart doesn't care about consensus of the brain,
Heart only cares for an inexplicable closeness.
Intellect has no bearing over heart's closeness,
Often intellect is a barrier to life's wholeness.

Intellect is boon, but only when it helps wholeness.
Being right is not necessarily the mark of goodness.”

“One Mission, Many Vessels
(The Sonnet, 1313)

One thunder, visions plenty.
One mission, vessels plenty.
One source, seekers plenty.
One fate, fervors plenty.

From dust we're born,
In dust we're gone.
Cashes to ashes,
Bitcoins in trashes,
Division is nefarious,
Unity is dawn.

The day the billions of people of earth
are valued more than the billionaires,
that day you shall be human being,
that day you are king and queen.
