Telling the Truth

connecting the dots of my life

Ostentatious Leaders

by Elouise

Ostentatious Leaders
preen before Desperate Adoring Citizens
clothing each other in superlatives
one flimsy piece at a time.

Has it become impolitic to tell the truth?
Or is it fear?

Wow. I really like this.
And I think we run our lives either from love or fear.

  Yes, I think you’re correct about that. Love or fear….with perfect love casting out fear when we’re willing to risk it!
