Below stately columns tall
and lofty words
men rise and fall
many have gone before us
some to revere
others under breath
we sneer
here lies the mystery
if you led with honor
you revered through history
were you the fool
they will malign you
curse your rule
lead for the lives of the least
understand their pain
and eyes will tear
when they consider your reign
A leader may be one who leads a few or the masses but a good leader is neither arrogant nor small in the way he looks upon others. He is the one little children want to emulate when they are grown.
