Lead Or Desist
I know you both
Want and so too should wish
To expect a response
From all the other people
Apart from yourself
Even if that response be
The merest tiny
Subtlest of nods or blink's
Hiding behind a smiling blackened eye
Because they are simply unable or lack
the inner strength or stomach for the fight
To stand up or speak for themselves
In order so they can show you the pathway
But yet then again aren't you just
so to the problem as well
If you yourself expect others to do
Something you have yet yourself
Seemed unable to accomplish or do
Because that offers others
In similar powerless unmanageable situations
Surely no solace or form of help
In fact makes matters way far worse
If other victims don't seem to care neither
