Loss Leader
Don’t place
trust in leaders, leaders tell lies,
They’ll
rousingly speak of national missions,
But in their
hard hearts personal ambitions
Echo, and
all humanity denies.
Their
bellicose blather’s so much foul breath
That poisons
the air in far too many lands,
They’ve got
indelible blood on their hands
Spilled by
those they mustered and marched to death.
Leaders talk
of courage, dismissing fear,
Of honour
gained through personal sacrifice,
Privilege of
paying the ultimate price;
All the
while the leader leads from the rear.
Though
leaders may rise and leaders may fall,
Pity is,
there’s no need of leaders at all.
D.A.
