Speaking truth to power
will always be difficult
when leaders compete
not just to be inconsistent
but to be inconsistent for gain
as much as they can legally hoard,
and hide from ordinary people.
But such speech will out,
and leaders need not doubt
that for all that they appear benign
they will miss the signs
when it is their time
to leave the world stage,
and embrace obscurity.
