By Abubakar D. Sani, Esq

Lord, give us men with hearts of steel;
And, minds that feel;
Men (and women, too) of faith –
For that is all it takes

Men, more beholden to a higher cause –
Than fleeting, earthly praise;
Men who choose God over Mammon;
Men ready to deliver – not minding the pain

Men who will stay the course –
No matter whose ox is gored;
Men – and women, too – of stature;
Real, authentic, fully-formed

God, give us leaders in your own image –
In terms of morality – not just capacity;
About whom we shall be able to say:
“There he is!” – not minding gender sensitivity
Men who will pull us back from the brink –
Before which we presently stand – seemingly transfixed;
Leaders who belong to all – and not just some – of us;
Leaders who recognize neither creed nor tongue

Leaders whose word is their bond –
And, are honor-bound in all things;
Leaders who, above all else, are patriots
And, value principle over expediency
