Leadership

If you head a government,
There’s no evil you can do
That some people won’t approve,

Since some will see what you do
As beneficial for them,
Their kind, their view of themselves,

And some of them won’t be wrong.
If you were an abstraction,
Torturing and murdering,

A bogeyman with no flag,
Everyone could condemn you,
But if you represent them,

Something in it for them, then
There’s no evil you can do
That some humans won’t approve.
