To lead is noble,

if one stays credible.

A leader must set as example,

to do great things but remain humble.



To lead is exemplary,

if one does it heartily.

A leader must be persuasive

to convince followers, never abusive.



If a leader becomes selfish,

soon tends to become devilish.

His constituents become suspicious

later they shall become quite rebellious.



If such shall happened,

better to step down to end.

Before blood shall wash the ground,

and people shall have no peace around.



Better to die as a good leader

with honor and dignity to remember,

than to be slaughtered as a bad one

with accolades damaged and gone.
