"take me to your leader," the robot said to the six-year-old
Max was super thrilled.
He had never met a robot before.
Can I get him an ice cream? He asked Grandma
Grandma gave him the money.
“Here is my leader,” he told the robot, handing him a double dipped cone.
The robot lifted his helmet and began to eat.
This is the best leader I have ever met, he told the child.
Grandma snapped a photo, so there was proof.
A little child led the alien that day.
robot from planet Uranus speaks to the tiny creatures
they sit in growths from the earth, tidy like gobwaters on his planet
“take me to your leader,” the robot says
the tiny creatures giggle, sitting up straighter, glad to be recognized
but no one offers to take him anywhere
so he sits in the middle of these strange creatures, hoping to learn
they are frisky.
they like to frolic and dance and fly
they are really great at flying
He sends a missive to his boss.
They are tiny, like to fly and are fun to be with.
Sounds great, the boss agrees.
Trump wants Ukraine to never join NATO.
To Putin, he'll simply never say no.
He's been played like a fiddle,
Europe's caught in the middle,
and you can hear the laughter from Moscow.
Mothers don't let your children
grow up to be soldiers
and march off to battle
without remorse or of course
a thought of regret
to get in the way
boys playing follow the leader
'We're only following orders'
the young may say
yet greed and stupidity
is the name of the game
either for land or in God's name
history has taught nothing
on judging it seems
and trudging behind the herd
in a word
it's 'insane'
but what if the Generals held a war
and on the day
nobody came
Bloody war raged on.
Superpower leader said:
"Sometimes kids fighting
like crazy in the yard, can't be parted."
"Best leave them fight on for a while."
Anyone care for TACO and cheese?
Courage was what fueled Nkrumah’s flame
Loyal he stood through storm and shame
Integrity carved in his every stride
Memorable his name will not subside
Beyond doubt Ghana’s finest head
In spirit and in stories still widespread
Never bowed to foreign hands
Ghana as Africa lost a visionary leader.
Generations rise on what he gave
Hope reborn from the hearts of the brave
Ashanti drums still beat his praise
Nation proud through darkest days
Africa’s light in Ghana lamp.
"Go along to get along" a wise man he once said
(altho' I don't concur)
but it occurred to me
neither follower nor leader be if you want to get ahead
and if the herd you stroll behind please do consider the view
(but not too closely)
yet what is worse yes you may curse
that which you step into
some believe the squeaky wheel it should be removed
(not receive the grease)
as all's smooth-run when replaced by a working one
or so it has been proved
to mindlessly open the mouth thoughtless of going kaput
(only to change feet)
it seems to me an opportunity to put a bullet in one's foot
the nail that sticks out it should be applauded
(not hammered down)
as one may fall for anything
and those who stand for something they should be rewarded
tho' possibly preaching to the choir some say it's idle chatter
(willy-nilly silly patter)
let's not forget to forgive or to live and let live
as ALL lives matter
Sometimes, it is in the most difficult times
That the strongest leaders are born.
Not by chance. But crisis,
Vision, and transformation.
Look at the life Moses in Egypt,
He was born out of circumstances.
Out from the Jews united aggrieved prayers
In Egypt Pharaoh's wanton slavery of the Jews.
Look at the life in a beehive without a Queen.
The ordinary workers produce an ordinary egg
Specially cared, nurtured, and fed with special food,
To make the egg grows into insurmountable changes
In physical aspect double or triple in size.
If she manage the beehive well will be given all the privileges
To produce more eggs for the beehive and to survive the colony.
She doesn't work, she only command and supervise.
She is ordinary turn extraordinary leader in the beehive.
It's like the fate of a nation when crisis arises
The people will unite, select a leader of the group to lead,
Support, extol and proclaim by virtue of people's initiative
Become their true leader to lead the country into prosperity they long for.
Power starts to wane,
Decisions lose their sharp edge,
New winds soon will blow.

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.

Sharp eyes pierce the heights,
Strong wings guide where others fear,
Vision shapes the path.

Nature is the Leader
Nature is the home. The Home. The life giver. Air, water, everything
The laws of nature preserve and increase life. The Life. For livings
For plants, animals, and humans. Nature can live without us.
Nature can live without humans. Man can’t live without nature
So, why do we want to organize and drive the life of nature?
Nature without us is whole and perfect. Living. Exuberant
There is no life without respect for ancient laws
The human-made laws can’t overwrite nature’s
Adam and Eve are our parents
Not the psychology
I don’t want psychology
In my life
And not
In my death
Psychology doesn’t respect the ancient laws
Psychology is not a stable science
Ancient laws of nature are eternally constant
Created by God.
These are God-given guiding principles
If we want to live forever
Then we must look with humility at the Laws of God
There is only one. Only One. Only one God. Only one Law.
The God.
This is the key to the future
Respect God, respect Nature
With a physically and mentally damaged world
No life
No future
No life in the universe
Without God’s Laws
Without
God
They always dance to it
The drum and rhythm of life
The beat are so lovely
If you can get it.
Life is a mystery
A journey you alone ride
But with support it becomes worthwhile.
Life is so frustrating
When you know or own nothing.
Drives you crazy, if you're lazy
Not having the courage to go after,
What you want or need.
There's enough for all
Some want everything
So they can use people, just like tools.
Many wanna start
From the top, not the bottom
From everything, not somewhere.
Variety is the spice of life;
Everyone can't be a leader, there must be followers.
This is my fan letter,
You make souls better,
To me, you're a sign.
Love, yours and mine.
Our hearts do entwine,
Rain or sunshine,
Now we recline.
Love duly thine!
Rally behind
Leader with faith
Die if given.
Believe real cause
Especially
Things heavenly.
Hope for real change
Especially
Godly leader.
Hope for country
Depend upon
Good leader.
