What Is Better
Is it
Better to lead
Than be lead
Teather bound to not your
own kite
String one's own bow
Follow your own path
Rather than up and down
a secretive garden
Do thing's your way
Be the wolf not a lamb
Be unique stand alone
Live and die without regret
and fear
Be not behind but 1 step ahead
of the 8' Ball
Face and make the tough
calls
So on and so forth
And if from time to time as
in life thing's turn sour
Be willing to put your head
upon the chopping block
Take and admit responsibility
For leading other's astray and
in the wrong direction
Knowing you have no 1 else
but oneself to blame
Then and only then my Son
You can surely call yourself
a leader
And so must take the lead
And not be lead
Otherwise how is a change
for the better ever to be achieved
And so too parity for the masses
If all we do is follow
Because our leader's are not
willing to put their head's
above the parapet
