The Light of Men

Men are like moths, and leaders are their lights. A rarity it is do I see such a great man, a loyal moth. You see, the common man would follow their leaders like a light, some would get too close and engulf themselves in their own self torment as the light burns them alive, others keep their distance, they stray from their commander as they in turn are slowly swallowed by the shadow of darkness. Now, the great man would not stay too close to his light, careful to avoid being burnt and at the same time careful not to lose their way. Their leader is their light and they put that in head. They master the art of trust and deception, and know the right times for everything. I've seen less than a hundred in my stay here... so I must say, what a rarity indeed.
