Where Are The Leaders?

The slogan where I come from says;
"Youths are leaders of tomorrow"
Though I don't agree in totality
Because youths must start leading from today
If they will lead successfully tomorrow

Where are the leaders?
Are they not the ones befriending the wind
When they are supposed to romance the peaceful stream
Won't the boat we are riding on capsize
If we call the wind's lover our leader?

Where are the leaders?
Are they not the one's crumbling under the load of a mattress,
What now happens when a log of wood is put on their heads?
Won't they bury us with their weakness
When small loads become very big in their eyes?

Where are the leaders?
Are they not the one's who have closed their hearts to learning,
When they know that knowledge is the principal thing?
Won't they chase wisdom away
When she comes calling?

Where are the leaders?
Are they not the one's cheating to pass exams
When they know they know they can pass if they study hard?
Won't they see stealing as normal
When the treasury of the nation is in their care?

I wonder where the leaders will come from
When the defending champions of these titles
Have nothing laudable to leave behind.
Even with all these, the true leaders will still arise
And I choose to be one who will be a change agent.
