make up
a small bit of base
maybe some eyeliner now
STOP THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH
one ring to bind them
one ring to kick all the butts
can't see me now fool
words and words and words
words and words and words and words
lots and lots of words
A true leader finds out what will be good for his people, and then shapes laws that will help achieve that good purpose. If the people don't understand what he's doing, he persuades them if he can. If they refuse to be persuaded, then he acts for their good anyway. And if doing this costs him his power, then he would rather lose his power for doing right, than keep his power by doing wrong. Because he loves his people more than his office.
