TUESDAY THOUGHTS: POETRY PROMPT
A TYRANT'S SONG
Who will come and dance for me?
Who will stroke my ego?
Who’s the next eager wannabe
In my self-serving show?
Who will turn his back on Truth
Just to shake my hand?
Who will grovel, nail and tooth
To leap at my command?
Who will do my dirty work;
Excuse my every blunder
Have no idea how to repair
All that I’ve torn asunder?
Who will gladly speak for me--
Defend what shouldn’t be?
Who will, out of stupidity
Forfeit their dignity?
Who's tattered reputation will be
Squarely blamed on me?
Who will win the prize
For a lack of integrity?
Who cares not, what stain they leave
On their own legacy?
Who goes home to face the shame
Of their own family?
Who's distancing themselves?
Who thinks they'll safely get away?
Who's trying to remove the stench
They've wallowed in each day?
Who's singing a new tune
Who thinks that, soon, they will be free?
Will History forget
The way they pledged themselves to me?
Whose dance steps are slowing, now
Whose consciences are seared?
Who sees the writing on the wall--
The Justice they once feared?
Who sees now, that I never cared?
For, I'm despicable!
Who realizes now
That they are quite dispensable?
Who's heartbroken that I've had lots of fun
At their expense;
That loyalty to me, denotes
A dearth of common sense?
Who doubles down; parrots my lies
And brands himself a fool?
Who's in too deep; who forfeits sleep
To be a useful tool?
Who knows what happens to those
Who flee my community
Yet, confidently tell themselves
"It won't happen to me!"

THURSDAY THOUGHTS: TELEVISION
"Leadership has less to do with titles or rank, than helping others find their potential..."
"...resilience and pride can never be stolen."

"We can learn from the past, but America's story isn't frozen in the past..."
"Being a decent human being is a choice."
"Deep down in our hearts and souls, we all know right from wrong; we know selflessness from greed; righteousness from injustice..."
