This one I wrote for any world governing presidential leadership...some years back.

----------------------------------------------
Look at the president..., his eyes are wide open and rolling in it's sockets...so wild, The cheering of the crowd... that you can hear for
more than a mile.
He can feel the adreline flow fast through his vains...., before you know it.., up to his brains.
Mighty he feels... having power over the people..., his body is so filled with
electricity... which can't beat.. a million eels.
The Power he feels within him...., will never make him feel dim.
He's on the stage of feeling a Power.. that is hard to let go too.., the more the crowd idolizes him..., how mighty this is for him..., he has no clue.
People at his feet... and all taking him as their leader..., does he always tell the Truth... as being their great defeater?
How strong can Power be for him and his ego..., when it's building up in his body.. and having no problem to grow.
A mighty man and ruler he is becoming..., doing many things... without really thinking!
That's how Power works within a human being..., blind he is.. for this power.. which should be a warning.
Feeling like a God in person..., doing things... without any pardon.
Knowing he is just right... and no one else... and is convinced... he can always win a fight.
War to him is just a game.., of showing who's the boss.. and for the fame.
Many men will die for him.., and do you really think he cares for them.
As long as the war is far from his bed.., he doesn't mind.. if a mother's son or daughter is dead.
If he were wise.., he'd talk of peace... and harmony for all... instead of making war, The more that seemed to be killed.., as just merchendise..., the more he is being adored.
The blind mass is as blind as can be...., cheering to him... without a sin, Mothers and fathers... see how your sons and daughters come back
from war... pale and thin.
Not smiling and laughing anymore.., just looking at life now... as being just one great bore.
Is it worth fighting for... freedom... and democracy..., or just for political hypocracy.
Poor sons and daughters of us all.., do you really think they are having a ball?
Look at the president... smiling at the crowd. Still waiting to be crowned.
Does he really deserve this? Or are you all.. so blind as him... and want to see it really go amiss.
Wake-up people of the president.., it's Your country... and Your... resident.
Make the calls... or you won't be walking again.. in those beautiful malls.
It takes one big war.., and now adays... it can come right up to your door!
The times have changed... forever now.., so watch out.. if you give him your bow.
Look at the president.., his eyes are wide open and rolling in it's sockets...so wild, The cheering of the crowd... that you can hear for
more than a mile.
Please beware of that smile... before you all know it... You will be..on Trial!
It just takes one man.., before you know it... you won't have.. No land!

To what shall I compare Truth? I will compare it to a seed that has been planted in a pot, several weeks after which it grows into a seedling and then after a season into a flower. Eventually it is taken out of the pot and put into the ground. A year later the flower has grown into a plant; two years later the plant becomes a shrub; and three years after that the shrub becomes a small tree, ceasing to grow only when it has reached its full height and splendour, and even then continuing to blossom when the season is right. Now to what shall I compare the world’s understanding of Truth? I will compare it to a seed that has been planted in a pot and after it has grown into a flower it is left in the pot so that it can't be anything more than a flower, causing its roots to form around the pot rather than to stretch beyond it as its nature would intend.

" Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you...as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

--Marianne Williamson, Author/lecturer
