Leaders

What are we looking for in a leader ?
Strength, wisdom, charisma
Truth, to make us cheerful
Intelligence, guidance, no enigma
Humbled, to be powerful
Lifting souls, with a sense of wonder
The kind of characteristics
Keeping amen, within the critics
Not bossy, a dignified commander
Someone looking up at the ladder
With good intentions
No moral aggressions
Sturdy, yet soft and adaptable
Kind and really knowledgeable
Respectful of genders
Transparency renders
Would be more, than acceptable
Globalizing
Not dividing
In this twenty-first century
Peace given for glory
Love, acceptance, not hate
Pass through the gate
Encouragement for individuality
Hands in hands, total unity
Problematic, symptomatic
For the searching egocentric
There is power in wisdom
In chanting our anthems
While smiling at the neighbors
Appreciating many facets and colors
Transgressing not oppressing
Our minds to its fullest
Laughing, enjoying, the praise of the sun
Admiring their awareness, should be fun
Listen with your hearts
Let’s play our parts
This utopia, the garden
The rivers flow, to Eden
Together, we live, apply the dream
Swim, breath against the stream
Elevated by knowledge
Helped by kindness
Walking away from the ledge
To the center of humanity
Reaching our own purity
Free of darkness contaminants
At last.. sunshine’s on all continents
