The Statesmen's Return : Rise of the Wise and Bold

Alas, the realm of politics is wrought with pain,
A place where statesmanship is hard to find,
For not all those who call themselves leaders reign,
And those who do are often of a kind.

They are the wolves who roam the halls of power,
The ones who play the game of endless might,
And in their wake, the people cower,
For they have mastered the art of the fight.

They are the ones who speak of hope and change,
But turn a deaf ear when the people cry,
For they are far too busy playing the game,
And in their hearts, the truth begins to die.

For these are not the statesmen of old,
The ones who served with grace and wisdom bold.

They are the ones who seek to grasp more wealth,
And care not for the common man’s distress,
For they are far too busy counting their stealth,
And in their hearts, they are consumed with greed.

They are the ones who bend the rules to win,
And turn a blind eye to the people’s pain,
For they are far too busy seeking to spin,
And in their minds, they are driven by gain.

For these are not the statesmen of old,
The ones who served with grace and wisdom bold.

They are the ones who speak of peace and love,
But turn a deaf ear when the people mourn,
For they are far too busy seeking to shove,
And in their hearts, they are cold as stone.

They are the ones who use their power to oppress,
And care not for the people’s liberty,
For they are far too busy seeking to bless,
And in their minds, they are consumed with glee.

For these are not the statesmen of old,
The ones who served with grace and wisdom bold.

Oh, how the realm of politics has changed,
And how the statesmanship has been lost,
For not all those who call themselves leaders are strange,
And those who are, are often at great cost.

For they are the ones who lead us to our doom,
And care not for the people’s well-being,
For they are far too busy seeking their own room,
And in their hearts, they are consumed with being.

For these are not the statesmen of old,
But the ones who lead us to our downfall.

So let us seek out the statesmen of old,
The ones who served with grace and wisdom bold,
And let us pray that they will rise once more,
To lead us to a future bright and bold.

For it is they who will bring peace to the land,
And guide us through the darkness of despair,
With wisdom and compassion in their hand,
And a heart that’s filled with love and care.

They are the ones who will restore our faith,
And give us hope in these troubled times,
For they are the ones who understand the weight,
Of the burden that we all must climb.

They are the ones who will heal our wounds,
And bring us together as one nation,
For they are the ones who know the true tunes,
Of the people’s voice and their petition.

So let us seek out the statesmen of old,
The ones who served with grace and wisdom bold.

For they are the ones who will lead us to greatness,
And show us the way to a brighter tomorrow,
With courage, strength and steadfastness,
And a heart that’s filled with love and sorrow.

For they are the ones who will bring us hope,
And light the way through the darkest night,
For they are the ones who will help us cope,
And lead us to a future that’s bright.

So let us seek out the statesmen of old,
The ones who served with grace and wisdom bold.

And let us pray that they will rise once more,
To lead us to a future bright and bold,
With a heart that’s filled with love and care,
And a spirit that’s ready to explore.

For they are the ones who will bring us peace,
And guide us through the darkness of despair,
With wisdom and compassion in their hand,
And a heart that’s filled with love and care.

And as we journey on this treacherous path,
With the statesmen of old by our side,
We will know that we are not alone,
And that their wisdom will always abide.

For they are the ones who will guide us true,
And lead us with a steady hand,
With a heart that beats with love for you,
And a spirit that’s always at our command.

And as we face the challenges ahead,
With the statesmen of old at our side,
We will know that we will not be led,
Astray by the false and the misguided.

For they are the ones who will see us through,
And lead us to a brighter tomorrow,
With a heart that’s filled with love and truth,
And a spirit that’s always on the rise.

So let us seek out the statesmen of old,
The ones who served with grace and wisdom bold,
And let us pray that they will rise once more,
To lead us to a future bright and bold.

And as we walk this road together,
With the statesmen of old by our side,
We will know that we are not alone,
And that their wisdom will always abide.

For they are the ones who will lead the way,
With a heart that’s filled with love and care,
And a spirit that’s always here to stay,
Guiding us through the trials we must bear.

And as we face the challenges of life,
With the statesmen of old at our side,
We will know that we will always survive,
And that their wisdom will always provide.

For they are the ones who will lift us high,
And show us the way to a brighter sky,
With a heart that’s filled with love and light,
And a spirit that’s always shining bright.

So let us seek out the statesmen of old,
The ones who served with grace and wisdom bold,
And let us pray that they will rise once more,
To lead us to a future bright and bold.
