The Noise of the World | A Poem for Future Leaders

Future Leader,
Do not look for answers
In the noise of the world
You won't find them
In empty words
With no weight
With no substance

Future Leader,
Do not look for answers
In your foes 
You won't find them
In empty allies
With no weight
With no substance

Future Leader,
Do not look for answers
In the empty faces of the crowds
You won't find them
In people who don't know
The real you
Their opinions
Have no weight
Have no substance

Future Leader
Look for answers
That arise from within
That are born in the depths of solitude
That arise from the depths of your soul.

Future Leader
Look everywhere if you must
But remember to look within

The answers reside
In the vast ocean of your Being

Future Leader
Carve your destiny
But always begin

Within.
