A True Leader

Photo by Alex Cherney

We need a leader who speaks for the people

We need a hero who cares not about what others think

We need someone who will do the right thing

To fight for the downtrodden, the poor and the hopeless

To stand up for justice and speak the truth

Who won’t sell his soul to the highest bidder

Drenching himself in the blood of the people thereafter

We need a leader who’s good and kind

Who’s brave and ready to sacrifice for humankind

We need someone who won’t give in to pressure

To lobbyists and bankers and corrupt politicians

Who doesn’t care about the label of “Democrat” or “Republican”

We need someone like the FDR of old

Who challenged the old guards

And gave the people hope
Who brought the water of life

Back to the dying land

And to the desperate he gives a helping hand

Restoring to them their human dignity

We need someone who’s a true public servant

Not just for our country but the world and all beings

The people are crying

The planet is dying

The heart of the nation

Is disappearing…  

Over a Cup of Bitter Coffee

So much to share, but I had no time

I wrote them all in my head instead

At a later date on my blog I shall post!

When night wanes and morning arrives

What I want to write

Have all taken wings

Soaring high

In the sky of my imagination

Over a cup of black coffee

Bitter to no end

Wondering what to write

As the clock goes tick tock

Alas! Time has run out on me!

Bitter coffee

An empty page

The dawn of a new day

But now I must flee

Work, work, work

No time to play
