“Sonnet 1480

If you can't say anything but
my religion says this,
my religion says that,
I got no interest in hearing you.

If you can't say anything but
science says this,
science says that,
I got no interest in hearing you.

If you can't say anything but
philosophy says this,
philosophy says that,
I got no interest in hearing you.

If you can't say anything but
psychology says this,
psychology says that,
I got no interest in hearing you.

If you can't utter a single word
without parroting second-hand thought,
my phone deserves more attention than you.
But grow up and muster one original idea,
I'll put aside my writing to listen to you.”

“Book Bans Are Dumb
(Sonnet 1587)

Book bans are dumb,
It makes the mind numb.
If banning books were justice,
Middle ages would've been fun.

I’ve got Mein Kampf on my shelf,
next to bible, quran and vedanta.
You cannot fathom the wholeness of life,
if you let expansion be dictated by law.

Expansion can't be contained by law,
concocted in the gutter of tribalism.
Burning books doesn't prevent darkness,
It only obstructs illumination.

Book bans are dumb,
it makes the world numb.
Read reason, fiction, the lot -
Stretch your mind beyond medieval vision.”
