LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE

I point my index finger at you:
You who say, do not steal,
Do you not Rob with your pen?
Are you not a glib liar?

You who scold, don't be lazy,
Do you shirk your responsibility?
You who teach honesty,
Are you not fraudulent?

You who charge others to be loyal,
Are you not a traitor?
You who warns about the dangers of smoking,
Are you not a drug peddler?

You who preach democracy,
Are you not a dictator?
You who exalt good leadership,
Are you not a terrorist?

Do as I say and not as I do
Is now an archaic adage.
Do not expect anyone to uphold
What you preach but guilty of.(
