Lament for Leaders

    

    A mother carries her child with strength.  She carries it inside her and then gives birth.  That is no small thing.  Then she raises the child, cares for it, to make it strong.  Once the child is grown, it is responsible for it's own actions and choices.  The consequences are on the grown child, not the parents.  It is not always the mother's fault.  Don't blame her for everything or she will lose hope.

    The children that are born into leadership may grow up feeling intitled.  They may not realize that their role in life is a role of serving, not having people live for or worship them.  These are the leaders that we should lament for.  They are clueless about the damage that they do unto themselves and others.  The lament for them is like an eulogy.  

    National and International leaders has great power, but they don't always know how to use that power.  This means that can bring down nations through bad leadership.  They can produce decline that will later cause the fall of a nation.  It is rarely immediately unless they are just horrible at their job.  The lament is for them, but also the realization of all the lives that they affected in a bad way.
