Don’t Follow

People have never gravitated towards me… perhaps I did not inspire others, or maybe my expectations of the people in my life were too great. Perhaps I am an asshole. Either way It never bothered me much. So since I couldn’t be a leader, does this make me a follower? That’s a problem… I can’t follow.

I can’t follow a absent god.

I can’t follow those driven by greed

I can’t follow those who thirst for power

I can’t follow a man with a mouth full of lies

I can’t follow those who feel entitled

I can’t follow people who take lives or rights in the name of their god

I can’t follow the self proclaimed holy

I can’t follow the self absorbed

I can’t follow the man making the most noise

I can’t follow bigots, racist or the unlearned.

I may not lead anyone but I choose to live on my terms.
