Discouraging Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

There are people, educated, smart, talented with degrees,
when given a position of leadership they fail miserably.

Placing rules and regulations on everyone, micro-managing
and taking freedoms away from those under them.

Giving keys to certain individuals seems to be a mistake
at times, because they think themselves supreme beings.

It's a sad and hopeless shell of a person left standing
there, pathetic, lonely and being despised by everyone.

Instead, they could've been looked up to and well liked
if they had only not let the power go to their heads.

A sad state of affairs, especially when it applies to the
president of the United States and our politicians.
