“Sapient or Savage (The Sonnet)
To be or not to be,
That is not the question.
To be human or stay animal,
That is the question.
Human and animal,
What is the difference!
To be animal is to be selfish,
To be human is to go beyond the self.
There's more to life than us and them,
There's more to life than loss and gain.
There's more to life than money and fame,
There's more to life than dogmatic lanes.
To be or not to be, that is not the question.
Be sapient or stay savage, it's your decision.”
― Find A Cause Outside Yourself: Sermon of Sustainability

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 65
Doomsday is not when the earth collapses,
Nor is it the contagion of a deadly virus.
Doomsday is when humans forget humanity,
As such all of us are doomsday descendants.
There is no such thing as fall of humanity,
For humankind never rose to civilization.
Our ancestors were savages with bow and arrow,
We are modern savages with nuclear ammunition.
Each of us are raised as an incarnate of doom,
Through our veins flow the germs of selfishness.
Everybody talks of peace without realizing,
The opposite of war is not peace, it's unselfishness.
So stop worrying about the fall of civilization.
Live as human so that there actually is a civilization.”

“When inhumanity is committed on others, we turn our back, when it's committed on us, we compromise. That's how the world works, nay, that's how we work - we the so-called civilized beings. What civilized! What sentient! What sapient! We haven't even developed the spine to stand up to oppression and dehumanization! Then how on earth could we call ourselves civilized, sentient, and sapient!”

“Civilization is Not A Place (The Sonnet)
No matter who likes it not,
Say Gay anyway.
Compliance to discrimination,
Is the coward's way.
A true leader once said, women belong in,
All places where decisions are being made.
I say, fudge it all,
Women just belong, period.
They say, they don't want their kids,
To be hurt learning history.
I say, if learning history makes you hurt,
You are in dire need of therapy.
Civilization begins when we acknowledge our primitiveness.
Civilization is not a place, it's a people, it's a process.”
― High Voltage Habib: Gospel of Undoctrination

“Sapiens Impossible (The Sonnet)
If my existence isn't impossible,
I do not wanna exist.
If my legacy isn't impossible,
I do not want to live.
If my breath doesn't breathe life,
I don't wanna take another breath.
If my veins don't invigorate another,
I have no need for such useless veins.
If my heart isn't proof of love impossible,
May this be the last time my heart beats.
If this being isn't the bridge of oneness,
May the bugs have a feast on some good eats.
I don't wanna live as a weakling of the jungle.
If I must live I'll live as sapiens impossible.”

“Ancestry is Garbage (The Sonnet)
DNA test may reveal your ancestry,
But there is no DNA test for character.
IQ may reveal deficit in logical aptitude,
There's no IQ test for excellence or genius.
If bloodline dictated destiny,
We'd still be dangling from trees.
Not that we've done much better,
But at least there is possibility.
In the end we are all monkeys,
We all come from the jungle.
Question is, have we conquered
the jungle that lurks in our heart,
have we risen yet above the animal!
Ancestry is garbage, IQ is useless,
Living humans don't rely on such nonsense.
Heart, brain, backbone, these make who we are,
Everything else is mythology of the savages.”
