Leadership Poem by Susan T. Aparejo

It starts in footprints,
to follow or to be followed.
those prints are vague,
from genes or games.
which way to wilderness
or to wonderland.
whatever ways to lead,
leadership is seasoned by experience
Leadership emerges in one's nerve,
sprout into a new bloom,
sweetened by the honey's sting,
flavored by the flattery of the favored,
watered by the polluted pool of the envy,
strengthened by the spirit of sincerity,
powered by the pinnacle of purity.
None could ever ruin
the skills and wisdom, if
leadership is seasoned by experience.

Strong leader, good follower,
