Virtue
Leadership can make leader crazy
roots of power often ignored
yet power given, grabbed, thrust
people are the roots and the blood
People’s voices is the voice of God
that echoes though community mouth
when they cry, God cries with them
when they rejoice, God rejoices too
Virtues are stored in stomach of tradition
long tested, tried and trusted they are
justice broods in people’s cheeks
Choice of a virtuous leader is a virtue
that colonizes people’s hearts
Orator is good but may not be virtuous
strong man may be good but not virtuous
but man of virtue though not strong,
or an orator or intelligent or less exposed
is best gift for the people
