An Inspired Poem: Embrace Your Inner Oddity

OddityGrafitti

Sing not the song of common creed,

But let your quirks and oddities lead,

For in those twists and turns of mind,

A unique you, the world will find.

A walk that's strange, a laugh that's wild,

An imagination of a child,

Embrace these things, hold them dear,

They're what make you, you, quite clear.

What some may call your 'weird,' your 'strange,'

Is your beauty, broad in range,

A mystic dance, a vibrant flare,

An individual soul, so rare.

Let not the world your spirit tame,

An Inspired Poem: Seeds of Tomorrow

SeedsTomorrow

In gardens of commerce and fields of thought,

A regenerative leader tirelessly sought,

Not merely to take but to plant anew,

Seeds of wisdom, love, and virtue.

With hands soiled in care and mind robust,

A vision clear, in future trust,

Sows ideas like trees that grow,

Roots entrenched where bright tomorrows glow.

Not for the now, but for what's ahead,

For those unseen, unheard, unfed,

A conscious path that minds the Earth,

A way of leading, giving birth.

To dreams sustainable, pure, …
