I AM

   

      I AM

I am a frustrated

Leader of men

In battle, war

Now out of joint,

             no more

To inspire to great heights

Of service for

A worthy cause;

A thing of the past.

       And religion

Such a thing, too,

For that matter,

       in the light

Of a new day.  

                       Where

Is my leadership skill

To be applied

Now, then??

          Oh.  I know.

             In service

To a higher cause

                     now

              than

          ever

      before.
