"The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is t say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant."
THE PRESIDENT
He need not be a general
But have generals on his side
He has to have humility and
Of course, American pride
He needs to understand utmost
To serve the people well
Not be just a politician
With a load of crap to sell
If he is to be our leader
His ears should hear our pleas
His eyes should be wide open
So it's our future that he sees
His mouth should have a voice
That will move us in righteous truth
And his mind should be determined
To educate our youth
For the years he's in The White House
He is a servant to us all
Though his status commands respect
If he earns it, that's his call
&
"The signs of outstanding leadership appear primarily among the followers. Are the followers reaching their potential? Serving? Do they achieve the required results? Do they change with grace? Manage conflict?"
Both quotes by Max du Pree
SHIRKING OUR DUTY
Are we awake? Do we partake?
Do we understand current events?
Are we here? Do we care?
Who we elect to represent?
Do we vote or never bother?
Is our X on the best?
Do we know just how to go?
To use the ballot on our desk?
Are we to blame when it's the same
When the opportunity is presented
That there leaders who are cheaters
And we chose them to represent us?
