“Declutter Sonnet
Declutter is the sensible way forward,
So I moved from Windows to Chrome OS.
Less cluttered in mind and machine,
More you shall find the peaceful pace.
Note that I didn't make a mention of iOS,
even though it bears an element of declutter.
Declutter monetized at a ridiculous price tag,
is worse than the most cockeyed clutter.
Declutter and Undisparity, these are
the lifeblood of sustainability.
And there can be no sustainability,
so long as there are vanity and luxury.
Intoxicated by the clutter of luxury,
World chases happiness with no avail.
Health and happiness will come chasing,
Once you learn to live humble and simple.”

“The Carnivore (Sonnet 1406)
Be a gentle giant like the elephant,
not an opportunistic carnivore like the wolf.
The elephant doesn't harm anyone
to prove its greatness, while the wolf
doesn't think twice to devour another wolf.
Greatness unfolds through gentleness,
Illumination unfolds through expansion.
Coldness is the mark of cowardly animal,
Cruelty is cover for beastly degeneration.
Worst of all carnivores are the humans,
There is no end to their appetite.
Animals no longer partake once they are full,
While human greed knows no sane height.
More clothes, more cars, more cash,
Just how much will you consider enough!
Till you put a cork on cocky abundance,
Not felicity but disparity wreaks havoc.
Savagest carnivore of all is the human.
Uncorked materialism is new cannibalism.”

“How little you need to live. At that time [circa 1950 while living in Paris] I already had my philosophy. I said: how silly to always ask for more. The Communists, the Socialists, the unions -- everybody is concentrating on trying to get more, to get more money and more of what money can buy. What would happen if people instead of asking for more and more would ask for less and less? They would be happier, would be healthier, wouldn't eat rich food, they'd give up their cars for bicycles, grow vegetables in the garden; everyone would need less money -- I think that would be an interesting experiment.”

“Life and Abundance (The Sonnet)
A person to take refuge in,
a purpose to be driven by,
that's all you need
to lead a good life.
A roof to take shelter under,
couple meals to feed our hunger,
that's all you need
to lead a good life.
Brain at the base of the mind,
Heart at the base of existence,
Character at the base of the shoulder,
that's all you need to lead a good life.
Materialism normalized as abundance
chains freedom, and renders life a cripple.
True abundance instills content not clutter,
Actual needs of life are rather little.”
