Hold your conscience up to a mirror unseen
Weigh all the foibles against deeds deemed virtuous
Introspect on the results in a vein transparent and keen
Learn the lessons imparted by life, hard, painful but sumptuous
A leader who fails to empower is a figure in ridicule
A master abusing his servant is but a pathetic fool
Provide ideas and share empathy for a new world to unspool
Exalted positions are not just meant to exercise autocracy and rule
Change can be a tool both benevolent and violent
Fostering prosperity or revolutions stemming from dissent.
