The Leaders.. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

The Leaders..

Rating: 5.0


A few leaders are too great,
To have the great vision,
To plan and execute in advance,
Their citizens are comfortable,
Beautifully dressed up,
A leader had chosen to be half dressed,
The people are half naked,
Even after many decades,
A few leaders are pragmatic,
A few leaders are dramatic,
To keep their followers,
Either as the princes and princesses,
Or as the clowns, who have the drawn smiles.

As leaders are, so are the followers. Nicely depicted. Most people want to be led. Bad leaders spoil entire communities. Beautiful poem. Thank you.

Yes, society has so many kinds of leaders. Only a few care for their citizens. And we've experience both dramatic and pragmatic leader. Ten of ten

Yes it is all about the leader whether they are making the right choices or not, Do they care for the people who vote them in?
