Leaders Are Suppose To Inspire

leaders are suppose to inspired
why will I believe
in a system 
where the leaders 
never inspire my 
youthful age 

why will i uphold 
on the ideology of 
politicians 
who never inspire me

why will leaders be 
always old 
same old circle 
same old faces 
same old system
this never inspire Me

leaders are suppose
to be truthful
yet we know ours 
are far from truth 
so tell me what inspiration
do I need from them as a youth

when leaders are war lords 
then what are we meant 
to be 
how does this inspire
any useful youth in this world

after God 
always our second
look are on our leaders
our hope on them 
speaks a lot on our faces 
cos they are the God we see
sadly this days in Africa
as the days come and go 
I still wish more leader 
except from the few brave ones
will exist again cos 
leaders are suppose to  inspired
