Truth to Power Historically

Truth to Power…Historically

                         leaders
                 gifted, circumspect
           guiding, serving, protecting
goals, negotiations, regulations, movements
       conflicting, undermining, upsetting
                  pompous, devious
                         usurpers

Duke Beaufort Date: 9/28/2024 11:02:00 AM Sally...yes it's amazing just how power can corrupt the souls of leaders. It's a very interesting thing. We've had leaders who have understood this and voluntarily stepped down...but many that also become addicted to power. Extreme wealth also seems to have this effect on some people...they try to control too much. We seem to be losing the battle. Login to Reply

thriveni c mysore Date: 8/24/2024 1:37:00 AM leaders are usurpers. lovely diamante. precious write dear poet. Login to Reply Sally Eslinger Date: 8/24/2024 12:19:00 PM Well, thinking it thru, Leaders can become usurpers, but ideally leaders are the opposite…Jesus here, Hitler there…?? Hmmm Sally Eslinger Date: 8/24/2024 9:10:00 AM This diamante presents leaders as being opposite to usurpers. Leaders are ganted power. Usurpers (as seen historically) seige power illegally. Nice you liked this. Thank you.
