The Leaders

Some have iron fists Few are loose Majority are in between. Authority comes from the governed Older ones claimed They were given by their Gods Others got lucky And said it was destiny The frauds through treachery. Their rules are confined To their Kingdoms Under the cloak Of humanitarian purposes Some want to rule the world. They cannot get enough Become greedy And they extend Their territories. They want the high blue seas And the highest bluest blue skies Even that beautiful line Where the sky and earth meet. But no one has ever heard That they want to rule The most coveted of them all Where all authorities emanate The kingdom of all kingdoms The Kingdom of the Lord. I am sure The greedy, the fraud And the treacherous Could not even try They will be swept away Right away. Copyright 2017, Rose Marie Juan- Austin, All Rights Reserved
