We Can Only Be Proud Together

I am proud to be selected,
To be your leader.
However...
You 'are' going to fix what is broken.
I will assist.
And you will not sit.
I can only be effective...
If you are not negligent.
Do not look for me to lead...
If you aren't prepared to proceed!
Those days of sitting back to watch others,
Work their butts.
While you do nothing but complain and cuss...
Are gone!
We can only be proud together,
Or never achieve our goals.
