What is the meaning of a beautiful mind? A rarity of beauty simply thoughtful and kind A Concerning voice for all the worlds ill A desire to be heard neither quiet nor still
Never a word spoken harshly, or with malice A white ivory tower set in a crystal palace Impulsive thoughts to settle all the wrong Speak up! Don’t dither! Resounding, strong
The purest love for all things living and born You have your right to exist, it will never scorn A saving soul for a blue beautiful world Battered by mankind with their greed unfurled
We see the blood flow from your questions A haemorrhage of concern seeking suggestions Neither ceasing nor resigning from your quest A determination of steel to seek out our best
A beautiful mind never demands exemption Just justice imploring us our redemption Never hiding from truth, demanding the facts Moralising without impunity, never ceasing in acts
What is the meaning of a beautiful mind? A caring person requiring us our bind Fighting for right not fearing exclusion A statue of Liberty with no illusion

About this poem:
I sometimes wonder where we would be without the caring people in this sad world.

Wow, well my beautiful mind felt so alone untill I read that. You would be a good world leader. I'm glad you wrote that. Our mind sets our rare. I sometimes feel like a shepard watching over a heard of people. But they are like lambs, they don't see or understand things as I do or they just don't care. Walking through life blind and misdirected. I find life shouldn't be so hectic. Anyway, good job.
Rob, all i can say is this is beautiful! Your truly an amazing man with words i really enjoyed and cant wait to read more!!!
