THE ATTRIBUTES OF A TRUE LEADER

THE ATTRIBUTES OF A TRUE LEADER

A leader, as a costly gem, should retain an inherent worth,
He should have the ability to ameliorate the public mirth.
Unlike the blood sucking leeches, like a kind and bounteous Tree,
With no personal profits , he should have an inclination to serve free!

A leader should be able to burn to illuminate, like a self-sacrificing candle,
He should treat friends and foes alike; goats and lions peacefully handle!
He should, like the green and boon granting leaves, have an inevitable ability,
To inhale the carbon-dioxide of adversity, and exhale oxygen generosity!

A leader should be an engine of a Nation’s all round, steady progress,
To sail smoothly the speed-ship of a country thru the troubled water.
He should have a cane’s flexibilty, rock’s firmness, a visionary’s prowess
In a nutshell, to all the needs of the common masses, he should, cater!

Should all the leaders of the world uphold the above said attributes,
Should they live for others only as the Mother Earth abundantly contributes;
The globe will suffer no more, peace will be prevalent and pangs will dissolve,
The reign of Lord Ram will return; around all beings, an endless bliss will revolve!
