So Many Running

We all understand that any organization or nation
Requires a governing body to direct and sustain the equation.
How effective and coherent this body is can make or break
The whole group structure. Equal responsibility for each member to take.

Any weak or failing part weakens the structure as a whole.
That is a crucial deciding factor and with one weak member, it could fold.
It's a real miracle to assemble such a diverse sampling of mankind
And not a single one be the "always evident" dissenting kind.

There're always many running but not all are qualified
To rebuff the negative and build and strengthen, not divide.
When we're choosing our governing factor, we have no guarantee
That those we choose will fill the bill or if they really hold the key.
