Some leaders think they’re made by own effort; <br />Some try predicting election results; <br />Wealth ill-gotten, some think voters are dirt; <br />New leaders, God uniquely catapults! <br /> <br />But leaders come to rule by Will of God; <br />If bad, they bring about their own downfall; <br />Some even get a ruthless earthly rod; <br />Some good ones listen to God’s early call! <br /> <br />Accursed are they who hurt their poor brethren; <br />God spares no one for making grievous faults; <br />The righteous rule for long and get heaven; <br />The honest, humble-hearted, God pole-vaults! <br /> <br />The head that wears the crown must wisely rule; <br />The proud and evil-minded turns a fool! <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 5-7-2006<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-state-elections-in-tamil-nadu-2006/
