One of a Kind

Why be concerned with transparency
People are blind, they really can’t see
With distortion and illusion in the word today
And bias and lies in what people say

Just be who you are, one of a kind
The truth will totally blow their mind
They’ll be so confused trying to figure you out
Their miscalculations will still leave them doubt

They’ll still try to mold you and make you conform
For uniqueness to them is the start of a storm
The fullness of creation will never be complete
If we all march together to one single beat
 
No one can truly know all of another
The closest possibility would be one’s mother

I completely agree, always being true to who you are. So nice to read your words again, my Texas friend.

Tom Woody Date: 6/21/2025 1:15:00 PM Amen! Negative people tend to judge someone only by their mistakes, or even just a single mistake. There's so much more to the human equation. We all have our unique assets. Nice sonnet Login to Reply Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 6/21/2025 4:20:00 PM well said, Tom. Mistakes shouldn't define us. I learned a great deal about the 'human equation' while teaching high school English lit and poetry. Students at that age are entirely human, sometime annoyingly so. Gotta love 'em anyway. I ramble. Thanks for your kind comments. Bill Baker Date: 6/21/2025 2:52:00 PM Thanks, Tommy. Your understanding of humanity is impressive, my friend. Have a nice weekend. Tex
