PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Don't fool yourself, from
everywhere you look the thing that
you can see that Amt Haggar's
Chilluns needs most is some body
to lead them, but contrary to way
most of us thinks, the leaders who
lead do SO from closeup, and not
from away-off ;. which is what /
was thinking about, in connection
with this matter of "us" needing
leaders, while l was setting down
eatin ma feesh and drinkin ma beer
What's most of us is looking
for in these times, and in most
places here in the Old Magnolia
state is for someone to come from
far-off for some one far-off
to beckon us to come-on and fol-
low behind 'em, which is exactly
lack it amt gonna be During
all this past week folks been poll
ticking all over the state electing
Mayors, and other city officials,
and from the news | got, in some
places where it's never been done
before in the history of the world
Amt Haggar's Chilluns went to the
polls and voted for the first time
but there's still many more places
in the state where they have never
voted despite the fact that every
where they look and hear folks
talking they're saying that voting
is the greatest thing in the world
and if you amt no voter, you amt
nobody What the members Of
the tribe are waiting for in them
places is for somebody to come
from far-off to lead them, but
that is never gonna happen and
if that's what they're waiting for
they'll jest keep-on wishing and
waiting because leadership
got to be right up under what it's
leading and most of all folks
amt ready to be lead no where
and cant be lead no where -. I'M
til they're ready to stand up where
there is q. and stand-up on their
own two feet -.
