leaders not rulers

its just the fact, when we were created we were ment to be leaders

many yearn for power,

power the cause of violence

many run that extra mile....

 

manslaughter!

willing to kill just to gain power

having one's blood wash over your feet

at the expense of power

 

not knowing that we are born leaders

crafted to lead, but not rule

to which many turn to after going

through tough and thin to gain the power.

 

Right at the begining

when the artist

decided to start his work

the moment he set out his tools

to begin the crafting..

he knew all along what to do with you

 

he knew that man,

basically you would be the leader

to lead other creations

but not to rule.

 

that moment he formed your figure

before perfection came your way

before he breathed through your nostrils

to give life to the moulded clay...

he knew your destiny.

 

giving you more knowledge

than his other creations

to have control and lead them

but not rule them.

 

so you having more knowledge than me

or having a better class in society

does not mean that you should rule,

step over them and mistreat them

but rather to lead, lead the society to a common goal.

 

so if you are better than them

at something, teach them,

take them along with you to the top

but just dont use them as stepping stones

to you victory...

Author's Note

yeh this is just about people in society who manipulate others to show their power over them not knowing that wer are all leaders naturally.
