The Poetic Word

Leadership 

BY GLORIA O’KOYE

A Leader who is humble

Is rare to find.

Like a grain of salt

Or a specific star in the galaxies

Beyond our eyes

A Leader would walk amongst their people

Leading to victories

Boosting up morale

Celebrating with the kingdom

That even outsiders can’t distinguish

Since everyone is properly fed.

Their past mistakes

Does not define their prosperous rule

Though enemies will attempt to bring their downfall

Tarnishing any splendour

With deceiving tongues

In the end

Truth will prevail

The Leader’s actions

May be misunderstood

For wisdom isn’t always broadcasted

When patience is tested within the general public

Residents may get agitated

Wanting to rush unfinished plans

True Leadership may go against the favour of the majority

In order to achieve greater achievements

Leaders are given daunting tasks

In order to protect

Leaving not one to be stranded.

Leaders sometimes aren’t on the frontline

Or front pages

They make sure all is well

Watching from the side and the back.
