It Is Commendable of Him

It is commendable of him...
Professing to take full responsibility,
For the actions of thieves initiating disasters.

He wants to prove to the majority,
That he is an able and confident leader.
But those accustomed to being self obsessed...
Are often discovered,
Leading themselves into their own distresses.

Only to lay accountability and their shame,
At the feet of one who is brave enough...
To take responsibility.

But those observing in admiration,
Empathize with the foolish act one takes.
Knowing that true leadership...
People are not familiar with nor appreciate.
