Leadership begs for leaders
On bended knees with clasped hands
Leadership prays for companions
Because leadership itself does not lead
Leadership supports
Leadership empowers the empowerer
Leadership abhors arrogance
And spits at the feet of the prideful
Leadership stands behind the commander
Leadership stands beside the hero
Leadership stands miles ahead of the conqueror
And yet still it is a warrior
Because leadership must battle itself
And will never concede defeat, merely retreat
Leadership will not die a martyr
But leadership is a prince who lives as a pauper
Leadership is humble
And prostrate, leadership pleads
For leaders
For those who would find a lost cause and bring it home
