Popularity v. Principle

“Look, I’ve been both popular and not so popular. But the thing that matters most in life is not one’s popularity but principles. And I am not going to sacrifice my principles on the altar of political popularity. If you chase popularity, you’ll be a lousy president. If you make decisions based upon sound principles, you’ve done your job.”
--President George W. Bush

  1. The minstrel played,
    to gather a crowd
    But no one came ,
    so he played very loud
    Why did they not come,
    he thought to himself
    He pondered the thought ,
    to place his lute on the shelf
    Then he had another,
    a thought to think beyond
    Maybe it was the tune,
    that the people frowned upon
    So, he changed his tune,
    in hopes they would hear
    But no one cared to listen ,
    so here's the moral my dear
    If you play to the crowd,
    then to them you belong
    And the crowd is always fickle,
    so they won't stay very long
    But , if you play for the beauty ,
    of the tune in your heart
    No matter if there is a crowd,
    the music will not depart
