We ought to ASK
“Why must I be Accepted as a Leader”?
Am I an Imposition?
Will it be a Cause for Celebration if I Leave?
Then do I do all that,
So that I Continue to Deserve it?
And Ask…
Why must others accept me as their Leader..
Are they Safe with me?
Will I Lead them when it calls for Taking the Shocks
Or Will Move On, while they Go to an ICU?
OR/And
Will I Walk Away with my Stocks and the Bonuses…and let Them Declare
Bankruptcy?
Then I would know who I really was…
I was never a Leader…
I was actually a CLONE….
