'W'alking over your soul ...

The Leader by anonymous

Patient and steady with all he must bear,
Ready to meet every challenge with care,
Easy in manner, yet solid as steel,
Strong in his faith, refreshingly real.
Isn't afraid to propose what is bold,
Doesn't conform to the usual mould,
Eyes that have foresight, for hindsight won't do,
Never backs down when he sees what is true,
Tells it all straight, and means it all too.
Going forward and knowing he's right,
Even when doubted for why he would fight,
Over and over he makes his case clear,
Reaching to touch the ones who won't hear.
Growing in strength he won't be unnerved,
Ever assuring he'll stand by his word.
Wanting the world to join his firm stand,
Bracing for war, but praying for peace,
Using his power so evil will cease,
So much a leader and worthy of trust,
Here stands a man who will do what he must.


BBC reports today-
Pakistan's government is to remove a poem from a school textbook after it emerged the first letters of each line spelt out "President George W Bush".

So have we kicked Shakespear, Bronte, Browning, Milton and Keats out of our text books and literature to make way for anonymous political propagandists?

Do you think children growing out of such dishonest and devious environment will ever grow up to make great leaders? What an irony? How serious are educationists, leaders and governments about the future of their people? These days everything is on sale- including one's soul. But these people have no business auctioning off the hearts and souls of their children.
