To My Leaders

We are not your puppets
We have our own voice
But you are not listening

You are too high on your pedestal
You have this idea that you have control
Of what you let us do but
The pen was raised to equal the playing fields

You made it difficult for us
In you, we can never trust
Exposing your evil is a must

You are trying to impose your culture on ours
Your elitist mentality will be your downfall
We don’t want to walk in your shoes
We have our own heels
Step by step we will peel away your deception
The conception of truth 
Will be seen amid your misrepresentation

You made it difficult for us
In you, we can never trust
Exposing your evil is a must

You are still worried about positions
Yet you miss the art of leadership and
You miss the heart of being humble
Often you mumble words that reflect your culture
Painting it as an aspect of humanity!
There is no unity between us
You made it difficult
In you, we can never trust
Exposing your evil is a must
