I've come to realize there are no distinguished leaders
it is all just one big popularity contest
The same as high school, only we are older now
Never as wise as we wish, never as smart as we expected
The class clowns and beauty queens still exist
The athletes and the drama club
the choir class soloists taking the stage
The home improvement woodshop workers and the cooking class Betty Crockers whipping up cakes and building houses
The power driven still dream of change yet they cannot seem to get past debating countless opinions and visions but never reaching sensible conclusions
With the end result beings their dream to charge $1,500 a dinner plate & take lavish vacations to cabins in the woods or private resorts.......but only IF ...they gain the popular vote
And the great dragon smiles at his thread of influence, tugging on the strings of the puppets he's created, stealing what has never been his, yet he too wants to win the popularity contest
