...Secularism has two meanings: the Western concept makes a clear distinction between functions of the State which includes politics and functions of religion which are confined to places of worship, public or private. This is the concept that Nehru accepted, preached and practiced. The other concept was equal respect for all religions. This was propagated and observed by men like Bapu Gandhi and Maulana Azad and lasted as long as the two men were alive. After that it deteriorated to a mere display of religiosity. If you were a devout Hindu you went to a Muslim dargah or threw an Iftar party to prove you were secular. If you were Muslim, you celebrated Diwali with your Hindu friends. Secularism was reduced to a sham display. Time has shown that as far as secularism is concerned, Nehru was right; Gandhi and Azad were wrong.

Death of soldiers is PR goldmine for nationalist nutters, no matter the side, because it gives them the appetizing ammunition to sell some more fear, some more prejudice, some more fanatic tribalism, neighbor fighting neighbor, all wrapped in cute pills of patriotism - which ultimately manufactures some more orphans, some more widows, some more elderly who lose their hope.

When The Nation Regresses (Sonnet 2210) Letter to the rest of the world - for the first time in over 200 years, US is proudly regressing to its primitive origins, now is the time to take stock of your strengths within - your domestic brains, your domestic backbones, and wield, empower and apply them most vehemently - now is the time you fly higher than ever, without sam, because big brother has turned into a drunken uncle. And to those living within these shores of liberty, who still have their senility intact, I say - you might not have had the honor to fight nazis, but now is the time you resist with your life. It's not a free country, it's a free jungle, where predators roam free abusing the marginalized. If you don't stand up now on the right side of life, not human, not alive, you are undead - uncivilized.

Time to Cancel 4th of July (Sonnet) If it takes just one election to reverse hundreds of years of social progress, then that society never progressed in the first place. There's no point in celebrating 4th of July, when we're ever regressing to persecution days. On the outside we've made tremendous strides, we have been to the moon and back, yet the glossiest of land reeks of lunacy, when we nationalize prejudice as gallant. America is abomination of everything free and brave, where persecution is law, intolerance is religion. To overcome hate some day, we gotta stand human today; Dream of the King is the Dream of Civilization. We have no cause for celebration, if anything, we gotta re-examine the legitimacy of 4th of July. When boneheaded egomaniacs make a joke of liberty, revolution is our first amendment, mutiny our right.

Freedom to love outside tradition is just as divine as jesus on the mount. Freedom to dream across color and collar is just as elemental as drinking water. Any halfwit can write Declaration of Independence, while denying people's rights behind closed doors. My Declaration of World Independence is this, rights of another only enhance my own.

When Convention is Contaminated: Brain cannot survive the vacuum of space, mind cannot survive the vacuum of time - so the body produces spinal fluid for the brain to float, and the brain produces beliefs for the mind to survive. But while the immune system keeps the spinal fluid sterilized of infection without conscious intervention, brain does nothing to keep beliefs sterilized of prejudice, unless you make it a habit to question convention. Choose to fight physical infection or not, your body will do it for you, but as for psychological contaminations, you have to fight them yourself - the faculties are already carved in your brain circuits, but you have to be willing to use them, defying the comforting fantasies of convention, that's how an ape evolves into human.

Sonnet 1144 Istanbul to Alpha Centauri, Cosmos courses in my corpuscles. Religion, nation, stuff it all, Benevolence makes the world livable. Din, dünya, milliyet falan, hiç umurumda değil. Sen mutlu ol - bana yeter. Scripture, constitution, god, government, Nothing matters to me, except behavior. The greatest iftar is to break the fast of apathy, with the feast of affection.

When we are obliterated in lifting the fallen, That's the living manifestation of the almighty.

Democracy on Drugs, Sonnet (Operation Opium) Revolution a day keeps corruption away, freethinking days prevent genocidal nights. Citizens without brain leads to democracy on drugs, paranoia is lifeblood for power-hungry parasites. Parasites thrive on gaslighting neighbors, peaceful coexistence is a threat to political power. Politicians remain safe through war and drought, it's the people who pay with blood, money and tears. Parasites don't have nationality, parasites don't have religion, parasites only have a bottomless hunger to keep the throne by calculated cleansing. Nationalism has nothing to do with culture, fundamentalism has nothing to do with religion. Win a war, lose a war, politicians lose nothing, living off domesticated sheep comatosed by opium.

Belong to the moment, belong to each other, past the lingering lure of a toxic heaven. Wake up to Iftar-e Insaniyat - the First Supper, love be our cosmic chord, tolerance, our hymn.

No literature is infallible, but while errors in scientific literature are proudly mended by later scientists, errors in religious literature are rarely mended - they are interpreted, reinterpreted, and justified in a million ways, but never questioned, as very few persons of faith have got the brain and backbone to acknowledge errors, let alone correct them - this is not holiness, it's blindness most primitive.

Admission of error is the beginning of enlightenment.

Reverence without revision isn't sanctity, it's stagnation.

Just because it's habit doesn't make it holy.

The Man With No Roots (Sonnet) The day children are raised without religion and nationality, that's the beginning of peacemaking, and the empirical end to warmongery. Either raise your children with no religion or multiple religions, either raise your children with no culture or multiple cultures. I grew up celebrating Diwali, eating fruitcake on the 25th, and waking up to the call of Azaan - if I'm devout anything, it's a devout human.

The Uncultured Linguist (Sonnet) The way apes understand what's cultured, I'm not that sort of cultured - I'm humanly cultured - which means, I live as cure for tribalism, not coddle; I abolish chains, not worship them, I do not entertain stereotypes - I question and denounce prejudice, both external and internal.

Pilgrims and Nazis (Sonnet 2220) The terrorists you call pilgrims, did not immigrate, they invaded, pillaged and plundered a continent, they even plagiarized its name into a symbol of atrocity and violation, just like the nazis heisted a holy symbol from the east, and turned the sacred Swastika into the global icon of hate. History books are all messed up, none teaches the history of humans - world history was written by animals, to maintain their narrative unchallenged. The West broke the world, now the human race gotta resurrect the world, offspring of the terrorists and terrorized alike - but we can do nothing at all, till we decolonize our mind.

I had all the time in the world, and enough pain to fuel my pen. Every time I got my heart broken, it benefitted my mission.

Fugitive Peace (Sonnet 2219) In the opera of war, peace is fugitive - thinking soldiers are no good to state, either you kill without question, and grab your medal, or get discharged dishonorably. Thinking citizens are no good to democracy, either you obey blind or be branded a terrorist. Either you hold your mouth, mind and backbone, or be jailed as an anarchist. If you want to be an actor, don't go to film school, become an intern to some politician. Some say secularism is in their blood, some say liberty, all the while being the posterboys of persecution. No politician will prioritize peace, if they did, they would be out of business. War is the currency of political power - abandon fanaticism, and politicians go extinct.

There is no Generative AI, there is only Plagiarative AI.

Some say secularism is in their blood, some say liberty, all the while being the posterboys of persecution.

If you want to be an actor, don't go to film school, become an intern to some politician.

All governments are a facade, all politicians are merely actors. In a civilized world citizen is the leader, obsolete is the profession of world leaders.

All governments are a facade, all politicians are merely actors.

In a civilized world I could spend my days writing mushy poetry, sparing the headache of human rights. But alas, that is not the case, hence, I'm restless, sleepless, vacationless, in kindling the human light.
