Life Doors and Windows

In life there are many doors 
And 
Windows
Where some people passing 
And find 
What 
they want...
And other passing 
And
Fail to find
What
they need. 
You can be loved 
By few people 
And hated
By the majority of them 
But you still going 
To make it. 
Just put your focus
On the few fans 
Who like you
And ignoring 
Those haters.
Remember that few people who 
Always at your side, 
Are your pillars...
So value them 
Daily, 
Monthly 
And yearly. 
Just to say, 
Don't ever take them
For granted. 
It is talking  longtime 
For some people to follow you.
In an other hand, 
It is taking  short time
For some pretenders  
To drop you down, 
And sing bad songs about you here 
And there. 
Leadership is not as a piece of cake 
Which can be eaten easily.
I know what true leaders passing through Before they go to rest. 
Many true leaders shared 
About their lives 
And we still reading more about them. 
If you read about the struggle of some leaders 
Like: 
Emery Patrice Lumumba, 
Rolihlahla Nelson Mandela, 
Jomo Kenyatta,
Kimpa vita, 
Kwame Krumah,
Lalla Aminah,
Reverend John Chilembwe
Zinga ana Mbande
Julius Kambaraga Nyerere, 
John Joseph Pombe Makufuli, 
Mussabwa Mundi Walhali
Mahatma Gandhi, 
Muhammad Khadafi 
Samora Mashel, 
Martin Luther King Jr,  
Prophet Simon Kimbangu, 
and other more , 
You will understand that leading people to some victories 
It is not as  cooked chicken meat. 
Be always happy when some folks 
Leave you with no cause. 
There are always people 
who  like to swallow murmurs
Than investigating 
The issues 
For durable solutions. 
Out side there , 
There are always some  people 
who decided 
To die for you 
As their only  trusted 
Leader.
