LEADING A NATION
Leading a nation is the highest moral responsibility that only wise and temperate men ought to assume.
However, if a fool by trickery or deception succeeds in gaining power, he will soon lead his nation to its doom!

*Dear friends, this poem was inspired by Plato's Republic. From my postgraduate studies in philosophy, I know Plato's thoughts. Seeing what is happening in the world today, I recalled his words. I would love to hear your thoughts.
