"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." - Helen Keller
----- A Jinjagoliath poem: 29th December 2023 -----
As Newton found an apple As Einstein used his mind In Leonardo's genius So art and science combined When Chaplin tugged at heartstrings Or Mandela called for peace A common theme unites them Such that hope would never cease Teresa shows compassion Or Rosa Parks stays put An inner door is opened That may never now be shut Keller's inspiration The bravery of Anne Frank So many souls unlisted We should take some time to thank These people never settled For the current status quo Confelicity, coalescence Or a child-like need to know We can learn from their example; Dedication to a cause Persistence in adversity The human soul adores The innocence of believing The faith of pushing though The mighty and respected Were once like me and you
