Poetry: When leaders follow

by Carissa Kane

Created on: November 17, 2009

I stand tall, I stand proud,

High above the massive crowds.

My every word they all believe

All my commands they faithfully receive.


I am leader, I am supreme

I control my own regime.

My nature is to dominate; I'm hungry for a quest

No man I bow too, I just cannot be suppressed.


I am great, I am strong

No one can come and prove me wrong.

Until that is, my eyes show me

That there's someone who's leading me.


I am awake, I see the light

The world we live in just isn't right.

I am better than all the rest

Yet politics and money make you the best.


I am weak, I am bowed

My inner flame I must now drown.

The leader must follow, as a sheep leads the heard

The shepherd walks behind to a point of no return


I am crushed, I face defeat

To the man with the money and with the political seat

I have no choice but to accept this path

I'm the leader that follows, this is my wrath.
