he had a quixotic attitude

He had a quixotic attitude
a true idealist
who believed in possibilities
the possibility of world peace
he spoke of this often
a spectacularly optimistic believer in goodness

he could have started a cult
if he had wanted to do so
a leader who inspired those lucky enough to know him
he passed at an early age
but left a marvelous legacy

he was a fabulous idealist
with a quixotic attitude
that has inspired many to try to achieve his level of optimism
