GOOD LEADER <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

We need a leader with the right credential,
\nA person who is above promoting party line,
\nTreating everyone fairly is very essential,
\nAnd to special interests he must not align.<\/p>\n

Concerning the welfare of the whole nation,
\nHe must do what is balanced and what is best,
\nWith people he must have a strong relation,
\nAnd pass with flying colors integrity test.<\/p>\n

Honesty and good judgment will be apparent,
\nAs he leads the country in the days ahead,
\nBy doing such he won’t be a leader errant,
\nIn history books good things will be said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
