The wise sage, somewhat cynical
Knows what to say and when
The optimist, still straight and clinical
Is in trouble with words again
Yet when the time came to inspire
The sage’s words fell short
Because one’s dreams also require
Revision to what has been taught
Maybe the fire inside was unseen
So the sage had to be let go
Not understanding what it would mean
To be held back by what one would know
Inspired by a newsletter from Daivd Elikwu about the dangers of role models and my own experience I am currently revisiting from 2020 with my then role model, George.
