I am exceedingly and repulsed by all this humanity.
To my bewilderment and disgust,
I still yearn for a kind word or a gentle touch.
Yet.., those inevitable tears of rage and loneliness begin to fall..,
From a distance far beyond their steely whispers and hollow echoes ricochet
eternally across and around the canyon a million miles wide
and deeper than the most distant molecule in space ~
I can hear those bitter screams escape my throat ~
I begin choking on the vomit of you.

“As a leader... I have always endeavored to listen to what each and every person in a discussion had to say before venturing my own opinion. Oftentimes, my own opinion will simply represent a con-sensus of what I heard in the discussion. I always remember the axiom: a leader is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.”
