" Ripped Jeans & Twenty Dollar Shirt (The Sonnet)
Ripped jeans and twenty dollar shirt,
That's how we'll change the world.
It is okay if your outside is dirty,
Make sure your heart is without dirt.
Too many people wear suits and boots,
In order to cover up the filth within.
Those who have their character intact,
Care not whether their clothes are shinin'.
The world needs purpose, integrity, honor,
None of which is predicated on clothes.
Those who think clothes make the person,
Will never discover any of the civilized roads.
Heart makes the person, heart makes the world.
A world without dirt comes from a heart without dirt. "

" Posh Yet Potty (The Sonnet)
One can be posh on the outside yet potty on the inside.
More often than less both of these go hand in hand.
Pedigree, personality, position, all are deemed important.
Amidst this royal mess of things we forget to be human.
We look at partisan loyalty, we look at intellectual fluency,
And in the process of analysis we end up a freudian chasm.
In order to find whether someone belongs in our camp,
We act less of a human and more of a lifeless algorithm.
It's okay if you don't know how to use spoon and fork.
What matters is, to reach out and feed an empty stomach.
It's okay if you don't know much fancy words and facts.
What matters is, your heart beats beyond the factual muck.
So, shitty or not we look on the outside, let's pay no attention,
Instead let us muster all spirit towards internal ascension. "

" Having said that there's no such thing as real psychics, there are many people who genuinely believe that they are psychic and they genuinely want to help people. But then there are frauds who know they ain't psychic and their sole purpose is to exploit vulnerable masses, just like there are frauds and morons in the field of science.
In science, frauds are those scientists who manipulate research date to suit their expectations, and morons are those scientists who won't mind causing hurt and harm to everyday people in the name of science.
We ought to stand up against these frauds and morons no matter their line of work, instead of looking down on regular people for their every little illogicality.
Enough with this condescending outlook of life from a high and mighty, intellectual pedestal!
Come down, come down to earth, come down to the street, come down to the soil, for that's where life is. "
