Oh great leader, zero work ethics in your name,
A mastermind of doing absolutely nothing but claim fame.
You are a leader who does nothing right,
But still you act like everything’s perfect in sight.
Your work habits are lazy, your mood swings wild,
You insult others, but play the victim child.
We are in awe of your bravery in absorbing endless praise,
For accomplishments that others achieved, while you lounged in daze.
You are a bad example for others to see,
A leader who fails but still wants to be free.
Your legacy will be one of failure and shame
A reminder to all of your lazy leadership game.
So here’s to you, great leader,may your empty titles abound,
May your lack of substance be masked by loud sound.
May your incompetence inspire a generation of idle pride,
And may your name become synonymous with laziness inside.
Dedicated to the leader with brilliant incompetence.

This satirical poem delivers a scathing critique of a leader who embodies incompetence, laziness, and hypocrisy. With biting sarcasm, the poet exposes the stark contrast between the leader’s self-proclaimed greatness and their actual lack of contribution or accountability. The leader is portrayed as someone who basks in unearned praise, shifting blame onto others while presenting a false image of perfection. Their erratic behavior and manipulative victimhood are highlighted as traits that erode the integrity of their position.
The poem also serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of such leadership. Through clever wordplay and sharp imagery, the poet warns that the glorification of incompetence can have far-reaching consequences. The “empty titles” and “idle pride” symbolize a hollow legacy built on illusion rather than merit. Ultimately, the poem calls for reflection on the values society upholds in its leaders, stressing that true leadership demands accountability, integrity, and genuine effort.
