Politics... What Does It Take? Poem by Denis Martindale

What does it take to stand and lead... and guide a nation through?
What does it take so you succeed... I guess that's up to you...
Too tough, too weak? Or in-between? The softly-softly touch?
Or starting wars and staying mean? Like you don't care that much?
Or just your nation on your mind? No thought for foreign aid?
Like it's a folly to be kind... and something to evade...
Yet without love, what use at all? Love must stay uppermost...
Such that God works a miracle... thanks to the Holy Ghost!

What does it take, the iron fist? A clampdown here and there?
Ignoring God's evangelist... who warns against warfare?
From all the kings that ever were... it's Jesus that I trust...
Because God knows what must occur... so Christ does what He must...
Till Jesus rules this world let's pray... that each heart can discern...
For God trusts Jesus to obey... and from Him we can learn...
Till Jesus rules what need have I... to vote some leader in?
I think that I would rather die... than vote for those that sin...

What does it take to lead till then? Discernment every day!
Yet Jesus is the Light of Men... without Him, there's no way!
