Sovereignty of the people

Never has a leader,
Appointed or elected,
Exhibited such exquisite selflessness,
Displayed divine humility,
Demonstrated undisputable credibility,
Paraded distinctive power,
As did our dashing president,
On that breath holding hour.

"To protect the sovereignty of the Kenyan Republic, " he said,
Was the respect the Kenyan people were paid.
He literally glamorised what perhaps is a rocky situation,
However,
Hasn't every cloud got a silver lining?

Now,
the tables have unprecedentedly turned,
The blind haters have duly burned!
He bowed like the servant he is,
We take off our hats for his great act,
For what is power but a give and give situation?

What then is this sovereignty,
Popularised in a speech momentarily?
Is it talked of so rarely,
That we struggle so desperately,
To comprehend?
I say the leaders have failed,
To assume the respect they owe to those they were elected by.

Hence,
That was the lesson I drew,
From what the experts featured in the news,
Greatly assumed.
For at a very recent time,
History was jotted down,
When the teacher made publicly known,
That objectivity supersedes subjectivity,
That the profoundness of leadership lies in omitting individualism
And that it is therefore a concept leaders should often mind!
