May a great majority of people

Come to their senses,

Individually and collectively!

May rationality, sensibility and wisdom

And mutual understanding

And efforts for general welfare…

Find some space

To survive and thrive!

….

May there be no nuclear war

Or Third Idiotic World War!

May the strategy of mutual

Outbidding one another

In armaments

By various warlords of the world

Never bring forth its prospect of

Ultimate cataclysm!

….

May this be the last year of my useless life

That speaks in a language

Which very few can understand

And still fewer have time for listening

Fewer still among those few care about

Or benefit from

And fewest ever feel committed to!

….

May the people

Engaged in productive,

Constructive, creative, distributive,

Regenerative, protective, social

Or artistic work

And research, exploration,

Discovery and invention

Be rewarded to their economic, social

And cultural satisfactions and needs

For their endeavors!

….

May arrogance, haughtiness, insanity,

War-industry, arsenals’ selling and buying

Go to extinction!

….

May all unemployed people of working age

Be fruitfully employed!

May people employed in destructive and

Devastating pursuits

Resign enmass; and

Seek productive, constructive or creative jobs!

May people deployed on negative frontiers

That is, the so-called intelligence agencies

Like the wicked old women

Assigned the task of spying on

Some poor farmer’s

Family and livestock

And counting fowls in his coop

And stealing the eggs from his basket

And sending wild cats, foxes and jackals,

To devour his fowls 

Feel disgusted with their wretched lives

And missions!

May uselessly employed people find some useful and fruitful jobs to do!

….

May the general helplessness,

Hopelessness, forlornness and frustrations

Of all human beings

Be effaced!

….

May education become unavoidable

And free

At all levels

For all people!

….

May health services, medical facilities,

Medicines, surgeries and all treatments

Become the fundamental human right

Accorded for free

To all the inhabitants

Of this planet!

May clinics, labs

And hospitals

Be widespread and

Accessible to all people

On Earth!

….

May all private research institutions,

Universities, Colleges, Schools,

Educational and Training Institutes,

Hospitals, Laboratories and Clinics

Be nationalized and internationalized

And declared global property

Of the entire humankind!

….

May all defense industries and institutions

Be nationalized!

….

May all people, all states and all countries

Become good neighbors

To one another

And commit themselves

To joining in the

Global Federation of Humankind!

….

May individuals make all possible efforts

To learn to live

Amicably and respectfully

With one another

In their families, localities,

Communities, villages,

Cities, regions, states,

Countries and continents!

….

May the people of primitive religions,

Hindus, Jews, Taoists, Jains,

Buddhists, Confucians,

Christians, Muslims,

Sikhs and Atheists

Understand one another

Scientifically, anthropologically,

Historically, culturally,

Socially, economically

And politically!

….

May prejudices, bigotry

Bullying and baseness

Go to complete ruin!

….

May arrant ignorance

And stubborn vanity in ignorance

Go extinct!

….

May the long epoch

Of baseness, rapists,

Murderers, filthy scoundrels,

Looters and plunderers

Draw to its close!

….

May the vast majority of people

Become

Global Citizens

That set themselves

On the path of

Learning to respect

One another’s dialects, languages,

Cultural achievements,

Consolidation of those cultural achievements

In literature,

Arts, crafts,

Historical heroes and heroines

And genuine philosophers,

Scientists, artists and authors!

….

May this be the last year of my useless life

As a prisoner of war

To the advocates, media-personnel, armies,

Soldiers, police-personnel, politicians,

Rogues, mercenaries, judges, analysts,

Administrators, spies

And beasts or wildebeests

Of billionaires and brothels!

….

 

May honesty and integrity

Resurrect

And become

The most honorable

Endowment

In all human relations and affairs!

….

May the homo sapiens’ species learn

Anew

That the values or costs of goods

Are not the only wealth

To live or die for

And that there is

Tremendous abundance of

Other wealth available

To enjoy with!

….

May there be an honest global consensus

Between Global Citizens

On values

And principles:

Social, cultural, intellectual,

Judicial, administrative,

Political, military…

e.g., whether the sellers of something

Should feed

The purchasing state heads,

Ministers, managers

Or administrators

With the depravity

Of secret kickbacks!

….

May all private TV channels

Plunge themselves

Into various types kennels

And may professional,

Responsible, honest,

Well-educated, well-trained,

Cultured and autonomous

State-owned media thrive!

….

Amid gruesome global poverty,

Hunger, starvation, wretchedness,

Inhumanity, violence,

Humiliations, frustrations,

Insanity, mental diseases,

Murders, wars…,

May all billionaires, all oligarchs

All lords

And all gun-owners

Be socially and globally

Disgraced

As worse than savages!

….

May a tremendous sense of shame

In humiliating or fleecing one another

Surmount all barriers

And all compulsions!

….

May the young and aged

Russian and Ukrainian soldiers

Refuse to murder one another

In cold-blood

For the baseness

Of their current Tsars, Tsarinas,

Oligarchs, comedians,

Adorers of old Tsars

And merchants and suppliers

Of young girls

Of their respective countries

To the brothels

Of the world!

….

May nobody be allowed

To hold any particular

“High” ranking post

In any religious establishment,

Or diplomatic mission,

Or state institution,

Or political setup

Or judiciary

Or any other social

Or public institution

For more than years in total!

….

May nobody be permitted

To qualify for

Any aforementioned post

Without

Two years’ work in agriculture, etc.,

Two years’ work in some state industry,

Two years’ work in the health sector, and/or

Two years’ work in education!

….

May all castes and caste-systems

Be extinct!

….

May roles and posts

As kings and slaves

Ascribed by birth

Be exterminated by collective human power!

….

May all Mullahs, Priests,

Bishops, Popes, etc.,

Be elected after every five years

With a maximum of

Entitlement to two terms!

….

May all small and big Tsars and Tsarinas

And their lovers

Vanish for ever!

….

May Bolsheviks and Spartacists

Of 1917

Emerge and grow again

All over the world

And build their global organization

And work patiently

To bring home

Efficacious human consciousness

To ninety percent of world’s adults

And stop the ongoing and developing

Third Idiotic War

For depredation

And plunder!

….

May Bolsheviks and Spartacists

Be glorious

And take measures

Not to degenerate

Into Stalinists and post-Stalinists

And repeat 

The same mistakes and blunders

Of participating

In the World Butchery of Humankind

In the World War;

And not to allow

Nationalism

Stultify  

The need of uniting the World

Into One Federation of Humandom;

And not to oppress, humiliate,

Plunder or murder

The people of smaller nationalities

And cultures!

….

May all kings and queens,

Princes and princesses,

Lords and houses of lords

Along with their entire entourage

And paraphernalia

Be effaced from the Earth!

….

May the Russian bosses understand:

Propagation of mass poverty

And mass wretchedness

And prostitution

On the one hand

And gigantic plunder

Of Russian people’s resources

By a few oligarchs—with

The yachts of those oligarchs

Worth hundreds of millions of dollars…–

The insane cherishing and ruthless

Exploitation of masses

By those oligarchs

To become the goods’ suppliers

For the Western merchants

Has only brought you, the Russian bosses

What you deserve

And what you strove for!

The power with which you

Plundered and bullied

Or allowed the plunder and bullying

Of the masses

And reduced them or allowed to reduce them

To absolute misery

Is the same, but more gigantic power

Of the oligarchs of

European Union

And the USA

That has engulfed you

With the same arrogance

And ruthlessness

That you yourself

Exhibited

Against your own

Country’s men, women and children!

….

May you come to senses

And learn that

The long rotten feudal system,

The sophistry of Tsars,

And adoration of long dead Tsars

Can be of no avail

To you or your countrymen

During this critical time!

You can still have hallucinations

Of a “new” world order

Or disorder

Or multi-polar world

Coming into being

But

Look at your faces

In the real mirror of real life:

Despite having enough and to spare

Agricultural production

And fuel

Your economy is totally dependent

On trade with the Western merchants!

Gigantic numbers of your

Country’s people are houseless

And half-starving!

Almost all of your immediate neighbors

Abhor you

And despite your mutual

Coexistence through centuries

They are ready for

Placing their own and your necks

Under the Damocles’ sword

Of nuclear bombs

Ready to explode

At any moment!

Why? 

Because

Despite their natural and human resources

And cultures, languages and literatures

Standing in no comparison to yours

They have higher per capita income,

They in general live better than you do!

They think they have much to lose

Under your imposed oligarchs

And something of benefit from

EU and NATO establishments.

….

May you become educated enough

To realize that

Monopoly capitalism

Can but be unipolar

With but two sub-variants:

Private monopoly capitalism and

State monopoly capitalism!

The historical period of

Young and vibrant

Competitive, colonial capitalism

Died more than

One hundred years ago!

….

You know it very well

You too owe your power and pelf

To the Western oligarchs:

Just as they imposed Sadam

On the Iraqi people,

Thus they installed

Boris Yeltsin

Upon the populations of ex-USSR,

And Boris handed over

The state keys to you!

Ought you not to be grateful to them:

Your own lords?

….

May Palestinians

And Israelis

Attain to a sincere,

Peaceful and mutually beneficial

Friendship and Brotherhood

With one another

And work for living with

Mutual respect and general welfare!

….

May Azerbaijanis and Armenians

Integrate with each other

Into a federation!

….

May there be no war

For Taiwan!

….

May the Chinese bosses appreciate:

Not only the Taiwanese

But entire Asian people

Will wholeheartedly be

Your followers and friends

Provided you

Give up your disgusting status

Of being manufacturing slaves

For the people of the West!
Be assured that

The people of the Western cultures

Or stagnation and putrefaction of cultures

Know far better than you do

How to produce goods!

Instead of buying bonds

Worth trillions of dollars

In the USA and EU

Employ all people of working age;

Provide decent housing to all people;

Give excellent education

And medical care

To all for free!

Provide leisure to your people,

Enhance the domains

And levels of

Happiness and satisfaction of masses

Bestow better economic, social,

Cultural, intellectual,

Philosophical and political

Rewards and remunerations

To your workers

Instead of creating

And nourishing a few

Gigantic monsters

Of private capitalism

That suck

The Chinese workers dry!

Instead of fighting a war

For Taiwan

And sending your young soldiers

To the slaughterhouse

To massacre young Taiwanese soldiers

You can confiscate

The yachts and other assets

That your oligarchs have acquired

By looting the Chinese workers

And resources!

In this epoch of terrifying darkness:

Light the lamps

Or help light the lamps

Of Bolshevik and Spartacist beacons

If you please!

And Taiwan will be yours;

And Pakistan will be yours;

And Nepal will be yours;

Bangladesh, Sri Lanka,

Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines,

And Vietnam will be yours;

And India will be yours!

….

May you realize

What an imperialist war–

For territory, resources, imperialist threats

Or forced subjugation of people

In one’s own country

Or breakaway regions

Or of one country

Against the other—is:

A wildebeest with a just born calf

Which she has yet to lick dry

Or feed the first colostrums

Suddenly surrounded

By a few hyenas

On the mission of

Killing and devouring

The calf

In front of its poor mother;

Or a few bisons with their calves

Targeted by a pack of wolves

In the tundra region!

Verily, the Carnivora

With their monstrous bellies

Are the merchants of wars;

Poor calves are the soldiers;

Poor cows are their mothers;

And Serengeti and tundra region

Are the battlefields!

….

May Indians and Pakistanis

Abhor the prospect of

Looking forward

To staging a war

Of mutual devastation

And gigantic murder!

May they come to senses

And muster the courage

To look at the Kashmir problem

In the face

And rationalize the irrational:

Update and implement

The Naya Kashmir Program;

Nationalize all educational institutions;

Make education up to Masters’ Level

Compulsory and free for all

Mentally healthy people;

Take care of all expenses of

Children from poor families;

Nationalize all hospitals, clinics and laboratories;

Make healthcare free for all!

Employ all individuals of working age

In fruitful jobs of production, construction,  

Creation or other fruitful works;

Introduce religion

In its chronological order

As a mandatory subject

In the educational curriculum

In place of history:

Class Four: Primitive Religions

Class Five: Hinduism

Class Six: Jainism and Buddhism

Class Seven: Judaism and Christianity

Class Eight: Islam

Class Nine: Sikhism

Class Ten: Hinduism and Jainism

Class Eleven: Buddhism and Christianity

Class Twelve: Islam and Sikhism

And recruit

Secular teachers

Educated in

Anthropology or history

And train them

To teach these religions

Sensibly and rationally

So that the students

Can make sense thereof

Instead of remaining

Doomed for ever

Under the mountains

Of bigotry, senselessness and chaos!

….

May this be the last year of my useless life

Without having anything worthwhile,

Worthy for a living human being,

To do;

Without being among the ranks

Of any honest, purposeful,  

Committed and epoch-changing movement;

Without having to study anything

Or do anything

Or participate in anything

Or discuss anything

With anybody—because

Nobody seems sincerely interested

In anything,

Much less committed to anything,

Except vainly eating, drinking, belching,

And gossiping, vegetating and aging

After heavy, satisfactory or miserable meals!

….

 

May we learn

Not to hold others guilty

For our own failures and shortcomings!

….

May human beings refuse

To attribute their own

Disgusting whims and misdeeds

Or feebleness and limitations of understanding

From ancient past to the present

To the will of any Creator!

….

May the precariousness

Of all life

Be comprehended

To ennoble us

For our respective years of life!

….

May philosophy and genuine

Humanistic poetry and literature

Be adored

All over the world

By all intelligent people!

….

May all of us become

Intrinsically compassionate

And shun all brutality

In its all forms!

….

May our cultures

Advance to new summits

Of human achievements

For the welfare of all!

….

Amen! Amen! Amen!….
