An Inspired Poem: Embrace Your Inner Oddity
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.

An Inspired Poem: Seeds of Tomorrow
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, …
