The Unworthy Leader (a poem)
Hey guys! I figured I'd start dropping some poems here since I haven't really used this blog at all. I'd appreciate some criticism.
Born as a leader
But not equipped to be one
Taking the follower
Down dangerous paths
Forging ahead
With blind mistakes and follies
The pathway scares him
But he cannot go back
The errors leave marks
And create wounds slow to heal
Leader warns follower
Blood drawn all the same
Not wanting this role
Yet behind footsteps echo
The unworthy leader
Feels far too much shame
The journey goes on
The danger worsens each day
Can’t the follower see?
The leader is flawed
Words fall on deaf ears
“My mistakes shouldn’t be yours!”
The follower looks up
Eyes filled with one thought
Undeserved admiration
