A Modern Don Quixote

A modern Don Quixote,
Fighter of windmills
And lost causes,
Except for noble gestures
He espouses,
A man of principles and tact,
An idealistic dreamer,
Engaged in a laudable act
But in this predatory world,
He seems to be a fool,
Who doesn't know the score,
Yet, what he stands for,
We can't fail to adore.
