Today's word is "clement" ... Mild or merciful in disposition or character; lenient, compassionate: a clement judge reduced his sentence. (Dictionary.com)
Judge
Who would you choose to follow,
Of leaders you have known,
Those who wield great power,
Turn water into stone?
Whose motives would you trust,
When chaos rears its head,
And neighbor turns on neighbor,
As into confusion we are lead?
If you're not sure that clemency,
Is the path to peace,
What is it that you'd suggest,
To make this warring cease?
Since everyone is broken,
In heart or soul or mind,
Would it not make sense,
To follow one who's kind,
Who's spirit lives within us,
Who's message brings us cheer,
Who's power's not of this world,
Who'll bring his kingdom here?
