“Allergic to Opulence (Sonnet 2230)
Do I have any right to happiness,
when millions go without food and shelter!
That's why, there's not a trace of luxury in my life,
I churn out humanitarian electricity all waking hours.
Most expensive clothes I own cost 20 dollars,
most expensive devices I own cost 200 dollars.
Born to a factory worker, I never knew luxury,
then I made me a name, but saw the world's condition,
I grew an absolute repulsion to lifestyle luxurious.
The question is not, how much can I enjoy,
but how much can I endure to lift up the world!
Life's meaning comes not from what we gain for
ourselves, but from what we give up for others.
I'm existentially allergic to opulence,
every soft bed feels like a betrayal -
expensive meals scream of starving children,
dollar spent on luxury is a dollar animal.”
― Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper
