What we know about those who crave power

is that they are not the best people to have it.

Those who crave standing upon towers

and amassing fortunes are not placid.

A true leader is a servant to those he leads

Doing what is best to lift all to health and comfort

That leader provides what the community needs

True leaders don’t think they themselves should come first.

    Yes to this!

    I love what you did with the above lines, Shawm! Not only are they true, they need to be shared now more than ever!

    because the most powerful leaders make you feel empowered –
