The Real Leaders
At first, i was proud
To be apart of my nation
We used to be Great
I want to believe we are
But now I am confused and angered
Actions and words are being said and done
Every day new things change my perception
Things that should not be accepted
Are considered normal by our leaders
It is ignored and pushed to the side
I want to be proud of my nation,
but how can I be with these things
Discrmintaion, Assault, and Bans
Only a few things
That has changed what it means to be American
Peace, unity and equality
Are a few things this country needs
I want to look at the news
And say that's my country
Changing the world for the better
Not the country I love is
Bombing, fighting, and ruining lives
I feel ashamed, not proud
So many leaders have the power
To impact and change, not just the country
But the world
Instead they decide to watch
And wait for other people to be the change
It is everyone's job, not just that one person
Think of the priorities, not for yourself but others
People's wellness, equality, and freedom
Not making corruption, money, and greeediness the priority
Stop waiting for someone else to do your job
And take responsiblity
Doesn't matter if people notice or recognize
Your good deeds,
Do something for someone else besides yourself
Selfishness is destroying our country
Be the change
Step up to the plate while others sit and do nothing
That is where the real leaders will be
Bringing happiness, love, and safeness to others
Real leaders will be the change
Not doing it for themselves, but others
I want to be proud of my nation
Not ashamed
I want to be the change
I choose to be a leader
Do you?
