Altruistic Poetry Quotes

“Be the glee to those in gloom,
Be gentle amidst the genteel.
Be the brave amongst the blue,
Be the knight amidst them who kneel.”

“I Am Idiot (The Sonnet)

I am not as stupid as you think,
I am far more stupid than that.
My stupidity is beyond the grasp of,
All puny dreams of heaven and earth.
You have no idea how stupid I am,
To have an idea is to join the club.
What do the calculating snobs know,
Of the logic-defying madness of love!
The opposite of stupidity is narcissism,
I am the stupid beyond all such stupidity.
Where animals sell selfishness as sanity,
I am drunk, I am dumb, I am but humanity.
Better be a human and considered an idiot,
Than be a moron and worshipped as sage.”
