leaders we need if we'll but agree that to lead exceed the want of greed it's all so plain that greed is the chain that all but reigns in our leaders veins so leaders we have but leaders we want yes, leaders we have who have no heart for the common man nor mind to depart from their wicked path and life of sham they've signed a pact with so little impact SHAME! is the word to describe our leaders! leaders who rip off our benefits leaders who live off our sweat leaders who disgrace nationality leaders who have no patriotism if they'll but leaders be fit, then they will the pace set in the way of noble morality for a greater sense of nationalism indeed we will bleed, if greed does lead with speed,its seed will succeed if we cede don’t heed its plead; there’s no need for this weed. we’d be freed if we did impede its misdeed. leaders we have,sweat and strive to make sure their regimes survive. they'll intimidate,harass and incarcarate, till all opposition capitulate. with one view point and one only, oppossing will be a folly. EFCC,ICPC potent tools with which opponent are stifled and some even impeached. draconian laws meant to subjugate the masses, cause soldiers they are,but without khakis. public funds stolen and invested in private ventures, what the future hold for us,we are not sure. now 2007 is here,where will they take us next, they'll kepp things as they are at best. so i'll just sit at home and bend my head in shame, because i know,come 2007,it'll just be more of the same walking around everyday as if in a daze, submitting to the antics of our leaders. with 2007 around d corner,here comes the next phase. possible culpability can we be accused of, accept things as they are regardless of what, guess of this suffering, we can't get enough. Leades we do not have today; Leaders we shall have some day. We shouldn't pick our leaders in a hurry. Doing so in the past has made us sorry. Leaders we do not have today. Leaders we shall have some day leaders we do want leaders we want, leaders we need whose desire to rule supercedes the want of greed but leads in deeds of noble breed so leaders we have but leaders we want who'll pave our roads with tar not sand our streets with houses not shasm our presence with respect not suspect our lives with comfort not murmur our hearts with pride not spite leaders who are no pliant slaves but valiant and brave who will stand up to the vices of cruel and abusive injustice, ethnic segregation and deprivation and the corrosive monster called corruption leaders who are heroes to lift us from this throes of this misplaced scepter of leaders And for each lost word, each vain spat in lure for our well deserved voice will not again go unclaimed, unasked for, ignored - that for sure. We now see clear. And we will never stay low. No more, no more. Yes, no more. Give us leaders, but not like we had before that's about it.is it long enough or should we beat john milton to it? tho i think we've about said it all but then , we want it as long as possible.so any more additions? |

we're doing great, but enough of the negative side of the'' leaders we do have''and concentrate on the qualities of the ''leaders we do want'' leaders we want, leaders we need whose desire to rule supercedes the want of greed but leads in deeds of noble breed [/font][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] |
