The Leaders of Life
- Ryan W. Foster
Life can deceive you It swallows and eats you The things that you always believed to be true Are things that they said before laughing at you You try and you try to understand But people insist on holding your hand This is real life- they say through their teeth While their really preparing a funeral wreath They kill the great leaders The guides The believers You still remember what the great ones said But their spirit is gone with the good things they did Yet still you hear-Oh, they were wrong The papers The President All sing the same song That life was a disgrace to society- How can you hold him on high like a deity? But you understood that fallen guide The things that he said were all on your side The love that he gave to your family, your friends Was destroyed on the path that with him begins But through all of the myths and the lies You see his path-- So enormous in size And down it you'll walk till you get to the end
