Brain, Heart and Empty Pocket
(Hopeless Sonnet)

Hope is rather important to me, so much so,
I even named a title Esperanza Impossible.
But my hope is not that of wishful inaction,
my hope is a furnace of valiance untamable.

It's more important to be the hope and help,
than have the hope that help is on the way.
No one is too helpless to lift themselves,
all you need is a purpose to define your way.

If this son of a factory worker could conquer
the world with brain, heart and empty pocket,
why do you succumb to fictitious despair,
the greatest hopes are always hopeless!

Rise, revolt and be the hope,
take no defeat as your destiny.
Till your world bathes in your light,
be the hopeless warrior of incorruptibility.

Timing for a dream is never right,
Yet you must persevere against the tide.
A tenacious mind can turn any table,
Even amidst the utter absence of light.

Give up the filthy habit of associating philosophy with the greeks, and poetry with the english - education that doesn't reflect plural humanity, raises only goodlooking jungle rubbish.

Topic: Education
Greeks did not invent philosophy, philosophy had existed across Latin America, Africa, Arabia, India and China, thousands of years earlier, not as some elitist discipline, but as everyday way of life, later the europeans contributed their puny drop in the ocean, but of course, the myth of europe as the origin of philosophy goes deceptively well with the whitewashed history of earth.

Topic: Education
The real first world war has just begun - the war between good and evil - the war between emancipation and occupation - between inclusion and exclusion - between expansion and contraction - between reason and rigidity - between humanity and inhumanity. I call it, World War Human.

And unlike previous times, we won't win this war by old-fashioned bullets and bombs, or by deceit and diplomacy. The World War Human can only be won by education, and education alone - by an ardent, absolute, unambiguous, unbending, undoctrinated, unphobic, unwhitewashed, decolonized, nonpartisan, gender neutral, valiant, self-correcting and conscientious execution of education.

Be so curious that you become a curio,
Sail the sea of knowledge bearing all woe.

Topic: Religion
God's original name is Human,
but it isn't very profitable,
so the apes cook up fancy names,
and sprinkle in tales of magic.

Organized religion is the planet's largest circus,
where apes commodify divinity to sell tickets -
more divide means more fear, means more control,
divine distant from human is the holy grail of commerce.

Human is the first and final name of divinity,
but that goes against the entire religious
industrial complex - for the purpose of brevity
I say religious, but I mean fundamentalist.

Topic: Happiness
It's a funny world we live in,

When we are young, we pretend to be old.
When we are old, we pretend to be young.
When we are home, we want to see the world.
When on the road, we want to get home.

We are never happy at the moment,
we like to admire the idea of happiness.
We like to worship it from afar,
real happiness is fraught with troubles.
