“Do I have any right to happiness, when millions go without food and shelter!”
― Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper
― Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper
“I'm A Mad Monk (Sonnet 2702)
I'm a mad monk,
I won't return to paradise -
the world is a giant headache,
yet my suffering is my cure.
I'm exhausted, I want to sleep,
but I'm afraid, if I fall asleep,
I might not wake up -
so I toil, till the soil is human.
Soy un monje loco,
no volveré al paraíso -
o la tierra es de todos,
o ilegales todos somos.
The world ain't mine,
the world ain't yours -
either earth belongs to all,
or we are all illegal.”
― Nazmahal: Palace of Grace
