Or simplicity another face.
He loved optimism,
Hated pessimism,
Positive, ever so positive.
For the little things always appreciative:

Hated pessimism.
Good of intent,
Mild of voice,

Gentle, ever so gentle.
He loved optimism,
Hated pessimism,
Invited criticism.
Celebrating pragmatism:
His Jihad being just an operation
Against the aberration.
The middle course, O my followers
The middle course, O my followers.
