The Visionary's Teacher

His face was so forceful and cold…
He stilled hearts, with his steely gaze.
He often lectured, rules of old…
Strict was he, with one eyebrow raised…

His demeanor, turned worlds around;
His face was so forceful and cold…
He taught as he was duty bound,
His voice our attention would hold…

Opening windows, he’d decode 
The innate potential, we shared…
His face was so forceful and cold
Yet life lessons he taught, he dared… 

With articulate speech, he’d bring
His strength as a young lion bold…
Looking back now, remembering
His face was so forceful and cold…
