Random Thought 36 (Leaders And Citizens)

Rating: 5.0


If a leader is sincere and decent
But surrounded be crooks
His character will be tainted too.

However removing iniquitous counselors
To find a new set of good advisers
Will remedy the problem.

But if a leader is crook himself
And believes being crook equals being smart
No remedy will work for that person.

Citizens have to be vigilant in either case.
This is the demand of democracy.
This is the responsibility of our civic life.

A very insightful write. I concur with the wonderful thoughts enunciated in this brilliant poem. Leaders and citizens must go hand in hand for the promotion of democracy. Citizens have the power to weed out those incompetent leaders through the power of suffrage. We must promote democracy by safeguarding our votes. Well written and conveyed.
