Follow Lead

Follow Lead

A Poem by R-Manikin

When the view is hollow 
 
 
When all prospects are shallow 
 
 
It’s our pride we swallow 
 
 
We follow 
 
 
And we follow 
 
 
When one feels so empty 
 
 
When one sees all that is tempting 
 
 
When we care not of tomorrow 
 
 
We follow 
 
 
And we follow 
 
 
When colors fade into grey 
 
 
When hope is taken away 
 
 
When we act to escape our sorrow 
 
 
We follow 
 
 
And we follow 
 
 
When we are young, we are led by guardians 
 
 
When we come of age, we are blend of our peers and our partners 
 
 
When we are independent with these identities borrowed 
 
 
We follow 
 
 
And we follow 
 
 
 
 
 
When we aspire and dream 
 
 
When we see a problem and need 
 
 
When we have the will to reach 
 
 
We lead 
 
 
And we lead 
 
 
When we find passion for life 
 
 
When we find righteous power and might 
 
 
When we know a way to what we seek 
 
 
We lead 
 
 
And we lead 
 
 
When we hold our heads to the sky 
 
 
When we wander and ponder on why 
 
 
When we fight inside a belief 
 
 
We lead 
 
 
And we lead 
 
 
When we harvest insight for display 
 
 
When we dig deep beneath to all the inner hidden away 
 
 
When tears of happiness are the tears that we weep 
 
 
We lead 
 
 
And we lead
