A good leader
Stand the pebbles throwing
The dirt and lime and all of it
If a leader can’t take it
Where is the fighting spirit?

Telling others to stay and fight
For the cause of justice and fairness
When the chips are down
A leader shouldn’t run

Stay on and fight
Character assassination
Pouring rain unnaturally
Prepared for the onslaught
Fight it to the finish

When values are broken
When morality hijacked
When honesty trampled on
A leader should stay
Fight the ground
Let no other innocents
Get caught up in the spiral
Of rats hiding in the holes
