Leader For The Ages Poem by Daniel Fortuna Jr.

Let this be self-evident that all men are created equal.These words are as true as an empty church is tranquil.For behold, a leader for the ages; one whose words where as artful & eloquent as he was courages.A leader beckoned by the hands of virtue & morality as he cried out & heralded to the masses that he would bring upon the dire need for change to an age strangled by a sad reality.Alas, with the instantaneous blinking of an eye, the personification ofhope & promise, he was ripped away by ones malevolence & misguided passions; his heart as dark as the moonless evening sky.Like the sun eclipsed by the moon, he was gone.Down the path of eternity he now walks along & the words of enlightenment& inspiration that he uttered calls out to us through time likebeautiful songs.A leader for the ages to which he now belongs.
Prior to his untimely demise, he would bring upon the change to which he spoke of; words so eloquent from a man so wise.Words that echo throughout the course of time, generation after generation, with each becoming cognizant of the greatness that he reflected & the change he brought forth that re-consolidated a nation.With the compass of his will, resolve, & audacity directing him through the precarious & bloody fields of dissent & hatred, he, with the grace of God, brought forth the change much needed to a land cold & putrid. A stroke of apen is essentially all it took; gathering around him with awe & amazementas they look.A pen innocuously he holds & with each stroke, as if using a sword, strikes down the enemy that is called immorality; like a wall being brought down, desperately ceasing the division that plagued humanity.A warrior in time of great tribulation - honest, forthright, & courage's.A great leader indeed he was, a leader for the ages.
