rbu A Corrupt Mind Is Not a Good Leader

Albert Einstein: “An empty stomach is not a good political adviser.

It could be so then but it may not after experiences collected here –
As all of us and foreign observers have eye-witnessed in Cambodia.
The more correct is a greedy stomach is not a good political adviser.
And the most correct is a corrupt mind is not a good political leader.


And – what else did the greatest scientist say?
As we all can’t prove otherwise and say ‘nay’
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger –
And more complex, and more violent
,” – either.
It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage,
To move in the opposite direction,
” his message.


Any intelligent fool can make things bigger
How dangerous to the nation if he is a leader.
As we see the democracy way paved in blood
People’s daily life and civil rights are in mud,
The governance is “more tactically complex
And more violent
, the stark flagrant index.


Ponder what Einstein said that may be a clue
To social and political solutions coming through
That must be of good practical and fruitful uses.
E=mc2. This equation said that small masses
 Could be converted into huge amount of energy,

And this was the start of nuclear power, really.

Yeah, the masses, only the masses, can achieve,
– Not the greedy, corrupt leaders as to believe –
The change of society and world for betterment.
Thus, as people do wish, stop danger – imminent,
People’s power en masse to convert into energy,
As People Energy for the change to civil society.


It does take a touch of genius, and a lot of courage
To materialize Albert Einstein’s invaluable message,
Just as he did say: “to move in the opposite direction.
That’s the right way, not the self-righteous opposition,
To steer the nations off the ways to imminent danger
With expectations to lead the world to safely prosper.
