Leaders

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
