Reflecting on quotes by Henry Glasow

Henry Glasow.....

"A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit."

HE'S TO BE RESPECTED

The ambitious general leads his men

With his well selected battle plan

Whatever happens in this horrific war

Will affect him to his mighty core

War to him is not a game

Defeat is his, he'll take the blame

And if awesome victory is to be the story

He credits his soldiers with all the glory

"One of the tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency."

OBAMA, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

Where were you Mr. President

When the guns walked over the border?

Who was there when Benghazi fell?

Who gave the stand down order?

Why didn't you visit that chaotic site

As tens of thousands of children fled

Into our country from South America

What the hell was in your head?

Why is it so hard to call it terror

When violence erupts again and again?

Why do you side with Muslim extremists

And bury your head in the sand?

Who started the war on women?

Why should it even exist?

Why do you like to play the race card?

Is it something you can't resist?

It is to our detriment you apologise

It weakens a once powerful nation

You refuse to quell the spending

As we are ruined by more inflation

Why do you condone dependence

And penalize those who toil?

You chase what's left of our industry

To build on foreign soil

You alienate our allies

And cozy to those who harm us

Indoctrination rots our children's minds

And you are determined to disarm us

Go play another round of golf

Enjoy your expensive vacations

Eight years have been the death of us

A once proud, mighty nation

"Fear is the lengthened shadow of ignorance."

THE SHADOWS

What is hiding in the deep abyss?

There lives the great unknown

What lingers in the shadows?

Or behind that old gravestone?

When we meet head on our enemy

And give evil a mortal face

It becomes possible to overcome

The fear we had embraced

"Happy is the person who knows what to remember of the past, what to enjoy in the present, and what to plan for the future."

THE GOOD LIFE

We frolicked in the sunshine

As children, in the summertime

There are always those memories to replay

When we need to see a good day

We can live life to the fullest

And tomorrow we shall repeat it

There's no need to live with a monster

When sheer happiness can defeat it

And when it's time to go

As angels we will fly

Happy that we're just moving on

And just didn't up and die
