A Leader Is Not A Follower

A leader is, of course, not a blind follower A leader is a true, real and patient analyzer A leader usually leads the pack or the caucus Follows common sense, the laws of nature The consequences of having a failed procedure The process of achieving positive results at the terminus And after everything has been said and done, what is left? A real leader has broad shoulders to withstand the storms A brave man fears nothing, no man or woman on the left Or on the right. A leader follows the principles, the norms The logic of things. Few men or women are natural leaders Even if they were haphazardly elected or selected as such Real leaders are occasionally as calm as hunting tigers A leader will fight for what is proper, not for the mulch Which can be found in countless stores. A leader is strong Bright, brave and humble. A leader admits when he is wrong In our current environment, men and women can lead Effectively. And the world has many mouths to feed.
