EKURWE: ON A PERSONAL NOTE 003

In praise's charm, a double-edged dance begins,

When flattery blinds, truth's light dims and thins.

With laurels bestowed on the public's stage,

A leader's ego may swell, ambition engage.

Beware the perils that praise can conceal,

For honesty's voice may falter and reel.

In lofty hymns, accountability fades,

And the seeds of corruption find fertile shades.

Let's celebrate virtues, critique with care,

Hold leaders to truth, for a future fair.
