Today’s word is “hortatory” ... urging to some course of conduct or action; exhorting; encouraging: a hortatory speech. (Dictionary.com)
Lead
Should we follow those who lead,
With hortatory speech,
Encouraging mad actions,
Disaster surely will unleash?
Or should we follow a dear Prince,
Who’s peace is not of this world,
Who’s banner only few can see,
Though it flies completely unfurled.
He leads the humble and the poor,
Those who do not count their places high,
The kind, the generous and good,
He speaks in whispers and with sighs.
There is no worldly crown for these,
No bags of golden treasure,
Just never ending love and joy,
That goes on forever.
