On Man, Leadership and Unity

A philosophical and political poem by Abdulwali Asipita Wordsdome, set line-by-line as rhyming couplets — each pair forms its own stanza — with a night/dawn reading experience against a starfield. Composed upon the removal of a class representative and a call for unity, it reflects on the contradictions of man, the qualities we expect of leaders, and rises into a meditation on unity across nature, family, faith and human bonds.
