say sorry

Leaders cultivated and nurtured
To rule the country and people
With power vested through the grace of the voters
So these leaders help to shape the country
And the people have food, harmony, money and relationship
And security guarding them against evil doers………….

When the leaders are corrupted
When power rears its ugly head
Ah woe to the people and country!
The drama of good and evil come to play

Laws used amended to sustain power
Of a few to control the whole
Metering out punishments and jail
Let no street demonstrators walk the streets
Let all dissents put to pasture
Hiding away from the public

When people revolt
When power clashes with peace loving people
When power base is eroded
The marching of the people is supreme
The leaders dispose must be answerable
Of the misdeeds of their administrations

When events have come to pass
Saying ‘look you have done wrong’
A leader disposed or resigned must be a man
Accept his wrongs, take his punishment and apologizes
Saying sorry is so easy
It cleanses the soul quickly

Yet it is ego
The root of all greedy leaders
Refusing to accept grace in defeat
Acknowledging wrongs done……
Put an apology so closing the chapter
Let the lives of the country moving on

No Sir!
Greed makes it hard to say
The simple words which will gain grace
Of the people and whom were aggrieved
Of past misdeeds or decisions………
Just say sorry one doesn’t lose one’s dignity
