[Academy of American Poets @POETSorg]

The North Pole is not where it used to be.

Manifest Destiny is no longer manifest.

Civilization self-destructs.

The state of the world calls out for poetry to save it.

—Lawrence Ferlinghetti, born #OTD in 1919

You'd be surprised how many people don't follow this simple rule.

Treat everyone with respect.

I know it sounds uncontroversial, but you'll encounter lots of folks who kiss up and kick down, avoid them because if you don't, you'll become them. Yes, the world has hierarchies. That's a fact. Treat the people at the top with respect. Treat the people at the bottom with respect.

[College GameDay @CollegeGameDay]
