Why Not?

Promises and accusations
Fly through the air like
Leaves falling on a
Windy political day

Threats and intimidation
Hang ominously in the
Dense atmosphere of
The business office

They followed Crazy Horse
Into battle not because
Of his Authority
But because of
His Courage.

Do we follow our leaders
In politics or in business
Because of their
Courage?

They followed Crazy Horse
Because they trusted
The Potency and
Authenticity
Of his Vision.

Do we follow our leaders
In business or in politics
Because of the power
And authenticity
Of their Vision?

They followed Crazy Horse
Because of his deep personal
Commitment to those that
Chose to follow him.

Do we follow our leaders
Because of their deep personal
Commitment and Concern
For Us?

Why Not?
