To The Crazy Ones

Here’s to you
the crazy Heroic one—
the misfit, maverick, and outcast
round peg dashed into square holes.

To you
the one who was told
you were foolish because
you hold different views.
Disregarding the rules,
with no respect
for the status quo.

You, who writes your own quotes
with no regard
if the world
memorizes your words
or if they disagree.
With no care
if the world
gives you the title
of a villain, an emperor, glory or king.

Because above all things,
this is for sure,
You
will not be ignored —
you intentionally change reality
and push us forward.


Here is to you
and to progress;
Yes, this is how
humanity moves.

And the other crazy ones —
we will call you genius
because we know
this truth,

that only when
you’re crazy enough
to think you can actually
change the world,
that’s when
you actually do.

(👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽...let’s go hero!)

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.

They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
