Leaders of the New Fade

leaders of the New Fade tend to believe their own hype
rather than accept with humility that they owe
to those below them exactly what they were promoted to do

they don't lead so much as steer a course that doesn't work
just because that's what everyone else at that level is doing
and they do it in private "and for the good of those below them"

leaders in the New Fade are in the unique position to recognize
that this isn't working and that they can help champion
a better way, the way all history has been suggesting

but what do i know?
