The Leader

Scruffy beard and a tucked in whit shirt

Seated in the cabin like a serene creature

Looking confident with an all knowing smirk

Was he a disguised tyrant or an understanding leader

Rarely would you find someone so alluring

Someone so intellectual, someone so daring

Earns your respect extremely fast

Helps you learn the truth of the world so beautifully cast

The power in his verbosity is worth watching

the magic of his aura worth experiencing

Earning instant respect with whomever he met

Leaving a hint of awe in every room he went

He has the ability to make you feel capable

Under his leadership his team grew impeccable

He might seem scrawny and not so daunting

But that's before you experience the man he's become

To his team he was their iron pillar

The one that never corroded or ever turned to quicksilver

But if you ever catch him at a lonely moment

You get to see the tire in his eyes and some fear that you can sense

He lives his simply and without question

But if you look closely you'll see the vices that torment him

He has his imperfections, a list that's probably long

But it doesn't quite matter cause his virtues are that strong

Despite all his grandeur, he is just a man

A man with few beliefs and a few demands

Sometimes he falters a little from his stand

But knows how to hide it for he's a confident man

The beauty of him isn't in his perfection

But in the way he walks, his head held with conviction

But the most fascinating is the way he puts his questions forth

Not only about others but also about his own worth
