By Example We Lead

By Example We Lead

A Poem by Alisa Lawton
"

Others may follow but they follow our lead.

"

Leadership by example
begins with an I
ending in me, we
us
setting the standard
before expectations

We have thought ahead
We lead drum majors
Stepping high
Each one, reach one
self

Changing society
beginning with one self
as a diamond dropped
in puddles of people
Waves of potential
spreading forth
rippling
to the fringes of humanity

Impacted by the source
like marchers on Lincoln's memorial
in 1963
Listening to I Have a Dream
from a source

That jewel of a diamond
dropped in a sea
of an assembled mass
cascading his peaceful protesting

Martin Luther King
We shall lead like you

Reverend Martin Luther King
We shall lead like you

Dr. Martin Luther King
We shall lead like you
