Oliver Anthony shared a very special image today (August 26th, 2023) on his Facebook. This new artist is known for speaking the truth and giving food for thought. This social media post shows that it runs in the family.
Oliver Anthony Shares A Keepsake From His Grandfather
Oliver posted a simple picture on his Facebook profile that shows a framed picture with a simple scenic background and a short poem. The caption states, “Something I inherited from my Grandfather that means a lot to me.” The poem Anthony shares is about living a successful life. That entails a life full of laughter, love, respect, and accomplishment. The most striking line, and the one that received the most comments, would have to be the following:
“Who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul.”
Oliver Anthony follows these teachings well, not only through his actions but also through his words. Many of his lyrics are poetic in nature and express things that would live up to this poem’s expectations. It is clear Anthony wants to better the world. He views the good in people and craves diversity. This, in turn, has garnished the respect of many. The comments under the post prove that point, telling Oliver that he is a good man and that his grandfather would be proud.
Peoples crying bout burning coal, but not the poor souls whose digging it.
I reckon there's been a many good man in the grave trying to keep our houses lit. Down in the oil fields, the pipelines, the linemen, the coal mines. So we can sit at home and plug in new fangled bullshit.— Oliver Anthony Music (@AintGottaDollar) August 26, 2023
