You Can Lead

You can lead
People
to the promised land
of change
to promises designed
to be broken
and they will
believe

You can lead
people
to the river
to show them
the waters
of reason
but you can't
make them drink

You can only
Watch
with sadness
as they try
to figure out
why
they still doubt
the waters
that they see
