Leadership: Their eyes were watching god This poem is all about what it is to be a leader. In the book Their Eyes Were Watching God Jaine was a leader to Pheobe! Janies actions changed how Pheobe lived her life. "Leading like a Leader" With the correct mentality I dreamed but pleaded, For god is my savior and Pride has retreated. Knowing ignorance can’t win But shame will blame the system, Of needing and knowing what’s right Or what’s wrong, better saying. As a leader not a follower My strides have been set To live my life with honor, no regret. I push myself using all of my tools. Physically I strive, mentally I’m better But deprived from attitude is not too clever. Leading with love and heart to play With bullets or balloons they go the same way I don’t think I just do it, I choose it. I’m me and you’re you, So you can follow but I will lead You are you and I am ME. Author: Derrick Pereslucha
