Leaders

by Lewis H aged 12

The leaders of families,
Of counties and towns,
The ones with the power-
that can bring a place down.

But it’s not just the place, it’s the people too,
They are the ones who are forced to feel blue,
To suffer at mistakes,
Lives upon lives,
And yet we wonder,
Why carry knives?

For safety, security.
Things that they have,
But not us,
Never us,
That’s different, you see?

But the rulers that cause this,
Don’t turn a blind eye,
They think it’s fine for us to fight to survive.

So just remember that corruption is real.
It is in our leaders,
They don’t feel what we feel,
They are the true mis-leaders.
