Choosing A Genuine Leader

Choosing a genuine leader Is a dauntingly difficult task To constitutionally ask Uninformed voters To vote their conscience. Such a practice defies science And natural common sense. That too many followers lack And where criminals hack The convoluted system With a simple leaf Of a fragile stem. It is hard to catch the thief The convicted felon, the liar or the backstabber Who lies like a hot fryer. It not easy to choose a leader Who can only win the pot, but Can lead, without being the butt Of all hard-working comedians. Do not shoot the native Indians They have nothing to do with this turmoil Which is ravaging the nature of this soil. Do not kill the good aliens For no reasons, for excuses Nobody will believe the ruses. A real leader is not a tyrant Who can only talk rubbish or rant. Choosing a great leader is not easy The voters must not be delusional and crazy Money can buy privilege and power But it cannot buy greatness and candor. Hebert Logerie Wednesday, May 17, 2017
