Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Limerick

Leaders, Followers and Goals-W

Neither follower nor leader but HIS
Follow to borrow, lead to lend means
Both take away self-respect  
But be what you ought
Aware to be sheep, beware of wolves.
==============================
Inspiration taken from William Shakespeare's  famous quote " Neither a borrower nor  lender be"
============================================================
Tenth Placement
Contest: Follower or leader

Daniel Cwiak June 28, 2010 at 5:28 AM Your message is powerful and should be taken to heart by all who read it. Self respect, taken away, makes us the sheep that we should be aware that we are becoming. Good luck in the contest! Dan C

John Trusty June 27, 2010 at 10:36 PM Dr.Ram I swear I didn't see that the Bard inspired you as well. I guess proves great minds travel in small circles, or something like that. LOL! Well done, a deep understanding voiced here. All the best JT
