Leadership?

[Wes Corona]

The emperor has no clothes,
No couth, no class, no remorse.
The emperor makes his own laws,
He obeys not the laws of the common folk.

The court jesters speak innuendo.
Truth is unknown to them.

The governing body,
Continues to demonstrate,
The complete lack of gonads.
The laws of the land,
Pertain not unto them,
But only to those,
They pretend to govern.

The whole mess is just that,
And getting messier by the instant.

We must maintain diligence,
And keep whatever hope,
We can muster.

And never grab a p---- by the tail,
Lest you get bitten.

The full frontal approach always works best they say Wes. We have to reach a nadir before we can once again climb out of this very deep hole we've managed to dig with our inattentions, and blind trust in a system that was based on honor, dignity, inviolate truths, and faith in our fellow man. Cheers! - Dan

I too hope we can dig ourself out of the whole mess and regain some diligence. I like the idea of the tail that the speaker is warning against being a scorpion...

What a world we live in, don't we? Our emperors rarely see themselves in the mirror.

[Wes Corona]

They may, indeed, see themselves, but they do not reflect upon it.

Great, Wes. Leadership is missing ... good leadership. Why can't leaders be fair and just? A timeless question.

Clever poem and most deserving of a spotlight. Well done with this.
