Leader of a country

Plato in, The Republic, said that all of our leaders should be bred

With honesty as their main trait before they even had a gait

An iron word unbroken with care oiled kept untarnished seldom spoken

Steel will of high tensile strength won't break but bends along its length

Has a plastic mind undefined that stretches but never on wisdom retches 

With a heart of shared gold that he gives to masses untold

Would rather swallow a fly than twist his tongue on a lie

Rather than one soldier die as chattel he himself would go into battle

Never allowed to have money, fed off the state's honey

Hard to found a honest lawyer of politicians my grandfather told me often my friend.

The above lines. A day dream for us Soren. Thank you dear friend for sharing the powerful and worthwhile poetry.

Thank you Johnnie for the read. Yes I know it is only a dream of a utopia but as a rant it needed to be said. I got it out now I'm over it. I'm too old to believe in Santa any more but even the old can dream.

Me too my friend. Now in my old age. I tried to be kind. You are welcome my friend.

Marcus Tulliu Cicero said it best politicians are not born, or made they are excreted. Another great piece of writing, my friend.

Thank you so much I appreciate your comments and reads. A poem is worth little if not read
