There were the days of the visionaries,
People who made collectives come true,
People who strived to uphold integrity, the oath declared, a sacred one,
true to their promise they stand, united, never wavering in their willful journey
to make the world so much better than before.
.
They were recognized as stewards of their countries, irrespective of race,
of religion, of creed.
.
These visionaries charted a path to proclaim victory,
Mostly arduous routes to bear, they rise above their challenges,
Often cited with example, Often studied in historical context,
Often a reminder to the next world.
.
With a mark of respect, we hail visionaries, bold enough to fight
against a divided world in order achieve good.
It is only the good and not diabolical who become visionaries,
as lives depend on their ruling, their actions, and their intentions.
.
I always wondered about visionaries, how they inspired the world,
with their presence. Most of them, not only create history, they also show that before they had a dream, they possessed ambitions, and it was mostly for the benefit of mankind.
Let’s salute visionaries, past, present and future.

Did you watch the inauguration of President Joe Biden, and Vice-President Kamala Harris? A lovely ceremony.
I loved the poem by Amanda Gorman.
I watched the first family, and the newscaster said that they were a very close knit family.
A few years ago, Mr. Hunter Biden followed me on Twitter:) That was during Mr. Obama’s presidency. I used to send some of my poems to Mr. Obama and Michelle on their official websites. Michelle Obama, I know loves poetry, in fact, both of them do.
When Mr. Obama’s reign ended, I received a “Thank you,” mail from the White House.
How neat is that? I sometimes tag Mr. Hunter Biden to the poems I write on my blogs since he reads them.
President Joe Biden’s speech was really heartfelt, genuine.
Here’s wishing the best to the people of America and their American dream – shobana
You have a way of letting us see above the event in a space that we can understand from a third dimension.
