Leadership Poems

As most Nigerians remain ruefully lukewarm 
about President Buhari's second term bid;  
an ever-increasing multitude of potential 
voters across ethnic divides, seem to be
...

The Lion stakes his claim
To the leadership of the pack

But the Antelopes remember
The ferocious pounce of his paws
...

Leadership shall never
Allow a dark soul to enter
Its kingdom.
A tinge of darkness,
...

There in front of me
All that was my life
Such loving parents
Brothers and sister
...

Now the other gods and the armed warriors on the plain slept
soundly, but Jove was wakeful, for he was thinking how to do honour to
Achilles, and destroyed much people at the ships of the Achaeans. In
the end he deemed it would be best to send a lying dream to King
...

You got your seat
Without any drop of sweat
Relied on your grandfather
Your namesake
...

THE Roaring Tinker if you like,
But Mannion is my name,
And I beat up the common sort
And think it is no shame.
...

Never really one
for popularity contests
yet somehow
popularity found me.
...

'Twas in scientific circles
That the great Professor Brown
Had a world-wide reputation
As a writer of renown.
...

Good Leaders never say
They are great
Their works will speak
Of the nature

A woman is a child,
A woman is a daughter,
She is a sister,
She is a daughter-in-law, she is a mother,

On 12 January 2010 a 7.0 force earthquake struck 16 miles offshore from Port-au-Prince demolishing the capital and killing many thousands of its citzens. Haiti occupies the western third of Hispanola a Carribean Island 45 miles east of Cuba. The population is just in excess of 10 million and about 3 million Hatians live abroad. It is a poor country and many of its citizens have poor health including TB and Aids. It is nominally Christian (80% Catholic) and about 50% of the population practise Hatian Vodu. What can we do? We can give generously now and during the year. If we have specialist skills we can join teams being sent out by our Governments. We can also pray Individually and Collectively for our beloved 'Brothers & Sister' in Haiti. It's up to you - but please do something.

Pray for Haiti and the Haitians
That GOD will hear their cries and prayers

He was the product of India's War
Of Independence under the able
leadership of Mahatma Gandhi
After India became Independent

You can see knowledge’s value
Keep a calm emotional perspective
...

Don't think too much;
day-dream more,
that makes you
smarter, if you believe in it.

In robes of Tyrian blue the King was drest,
A jewelled collar shone upon his breast,
A giant ruby glittered in his crown -----
Lord of rich lands and many a splendid town.

Two fine humans..i know them
from my teens
when i watched 'Gandhi' the movie
i loved this human 'gandhi'
...

Hatred to cease

It makes difference
For country's defense
...

Morning shows the day
Leader shows the way,
Good leaders show good ways
Bad leaders show bad,
...

Listen darnit and listen hard!
Catch the echo in the room bouncing off walls
Echo so heavy, it weighs on your thoughts and feelings
The echoes of human struggle and disparity amongst peoples
...

will be hard to match for slap stick drama
casts a long shadow over politics America
a legacy which may not fade so swiftly
like scrambled eggs to taste like it or not;
...

I know that the sun rises in the east
And sets in the west, a daily feast.
The seasonal changes begin in the north
And finish in the south, a cycle of rebirth.
...

In the realm of leadership, where power resides,
A choice is made, where darkness collides,
A decision to choose wrong over right,
A path paved with deceit, a blinding light.
...

wonderful images of happy children
happy childhoods abound bless lives
in lands with good standards of living
where gift sincere political leaders
...

In Ghana's land where dreams arise,
Where strength and wisdom intertwine,
A tale unfolds of women bold,
Whose leadership we deeply hold.
...

careful planning may have been spent
in finances resources required knowledge
key is terrain variations to be crossed
...

Leadership is not the most important feature of life, so why do we idealise or idolise it?
90% of us live life well enough though we aren't leaders.

Why would I want to be a leader when I am already head of my family? This is where my leadership counts the most.

Matloob Bokhari goes back into memory lane to remember one of PAF's authentic sons.
On 12 March,1933, God blessed Syed Dur Hussain Bokhari with a son named Shabbir Hussain.The child with large brown eyes and moon-like shining face was given the nickname of "Chan" moon. According to his cousin, Syed Sajjad Hussain, Shabbir, since his childhood, had a passion for flying. His dearest pastime, in those days, was to make models of aircraft. Shabbir did his matriculation from MC High School Mozang, Lahore and then got admission to FC College, Lahore. His cousin, Syed Abid Ali told that Shabbir had an average interest in studies at the college. His fondest dream was to become a fighter pilot. His joy found no bound when he got commission in PAF in February,1954. His brother Colonel Saghir Bokhari told that Shabbir achieved all successes in life due to his strong faith in God. His faith carried him through hazards courageously. He used to say, " If you work hard with sincerity, God will give you more than you deserve".

wow, a country!
a country whose leadership is foolish
they have their children in other countries for their goods
while they abandon the country the lead with little good.

Sudan's path to democracy has been a rocky one, and there are several key players who need to ensure it never returns to an autocratic state.

Now that the absolute power of autocracy has collapsed in Sudan and the people's revolution has succeeded in creating a power-sharing mechanism between the Transitional Military Council and the civilian Forces of Freedom and Change, the challenge now is for this Sovereign Council to successfully manage the situation until general elections are held in 2022. In the meantime, the council must prevent the repetition of the cultural and ideological warfare of the past that had prevented the country from achieving peace and security.
