CHIEF

Claim to be significant as one chief to another,
love as much your stranger here just as you do your brother.
A chill runs deep inside of thee looking for sincerity-
To question what you say is true is a gamblers insecurity.....

Taller than an ancient oak with tougher layers of skin,
standing by the words you speak is how a chief should win.
Show emotion to persuade of nothing to deny.
I want to believe but deep inside I only sense a lie....

Saving yourself from an ugly exposure is what most troubles you.
Why spend the time being chief all the time, when there's something better to do?
In case you ever understand how it works, you may want to join a team...
Hard work , dedication, and loyalty are gifts you could redeem....

Collecting Indian maidens should be left where it comes from:
in history books and kitchen nooks
and in recipes we love.

A chief resides in all our minds but often out of place.
We always want to be in charge but sometimes shouldn't say.
If patience introduced itself like wisdom never will,
we would need not to be a chief yet become more happy still.
