Otto, The Most Sensible Gent Poem by Nicki Friis

Otto is here, the most sensible gent
He's the personification of Gen Z
He's all about the trend of the nice-guy
But finds himself too often shy

He's open to spiritual exploration
But needs to find a firm foundation
His heart desires not simply to fit in
But to discover an authentic way to begin

He's embraced his mission as his own
And he's been searching since he was just a child grown
To find something real and tangible
That could bring him out of the fable

He has reached out to the divine
For guidance on this quest of his life time
The universe heard his prayers
And gave him a smile and said don't compare

No need for him to try to be like the rest
He can find his faith and be his own best
And so Otto has come to understand
That spirituality can't be pre-planned

It's a journey that requires patience and trust
And the grace to believe in those you must
So Otto continues to live with his unique soul
Finding strength in what he knows and cherishes most.
