Leadership's Triggers

Not gas, not oil, but leadership
  Yes, it's leadership pipelines we lack
    Young people coming up through the ranks
    For their mentors' devotion giving thanks
  
  It's every individual for himself today
  That's the internet and social media way
    Instead of bringing us together
    Instead of inspiring us
  All this 'technology' misinforms and divides us

  So it's up to us oldsters who still know how to do it
  To direct these youngsters, channel their raw vigor
    For we sorely lack leaders, no Buffets, no Reagans
    Let's get our youth in the pipelines ~ pulling leadership's triggers

Old ways are not always " Old Hat" The "New" way of thinking isn't working, And that is a fact. Good one, Gershon.

That's right, my friend. You conveyed the idea in such a poetic way. I think you wrote the poem and I the comment!
