Follow The Leader
I Love Playing
Follow The Leader
But I'm Not
A Kid Anymore.
So I Don't.
But, When I Play
I Copy Everything
Perfectly...
I
Try To...
Copy All The Little
Nuances I Like...
Somebody Tripping,
Falling Off A Board
Waving Their Arms
Everywhere - WooWooWoo!!!
Expletive Deleted
Snot Running Out Of
Their Nose
Blood Everywhere
(Just Kidding.)
(Maybe.)
A NATIONAL Treasure!
Oh That's Fun!
Fun Fun Fun!
But:
Then It's My Turn...
C'mon, You Guys!
Try THIS!!!!
And The Game Is Ruined.

Beautiful birds, taking their fill,
At the feeder, gentle and still…
Risking the time, immobile,
Blessed by the treasure, the meal…
Delicious fortune in the feeder,
Breathtaking, playing follow the leader!
Leader
Confident, assertive
Leading, aiding, helping,
Friends, admirers, haters, destroyers
Gossiping, bossing, glaring
Passive, aggressive
Follower
I now stand before you,
I am beggign you, I plead.
To mark the prefect man,
For the end of that man is peace.
There is nothing sweeter,
No greater thing around.
Than to follow someone,
With a mind that is sound.
For a double minded man;
Is unstable in all of his ways.
And he is hard to follow;
And you will find that it pays.
To mark the perfect man,
For the end of Him is peace.
Follow Jesus the great Leader,
And keep your mind at ease.
wisdom to follow
is often more powerful
than wisdom to lead
Looking back I see
A shadow walking close by
I lead, he follows
Wisdom to follow
Is often more powerful
Than wisdom to lead
I am the thing humans want most
Changing hands, this way and that
Dirty, stale, but this wasn't always so
I was born clean, perfect and neatly stacked
Issued from a cloning machine, brothers-in-arms
Cut from the mechanical womb, separated
Dispensed to all of you reading this
you have all known me, grasped me with
your oily skin, all of you guilty of
using me in varieties of ways, sometimes
I make you sick, so you turn as green
as my outer-self, I am as old as
the faces that are etched onto me
Washington, Lincoln, Hamilton, Jackson
and Franklin all smile up, as you
dispense with you affairs. I am the
universal drug of humanity. The tool
that proceeded fire, the invention of
all doomed societies. But I am
simply the usher, showing you to
you seat. The grand-show is what
I simple lead you too, your Paper
Guide. Follow me along the river of
greed, as we all follow the Ferry-Man
along the River Styx. You think little of
ME, and yet I bring you all of your
desires. Sit down and enjoy yourself
with me, your friend, Money.
