Men of iron are known for their ability to negotiate by sticking to strong principles. Many of these are admired for their tenacity and have proved themselves to be beyond reproach.

Men of iron are rare

They come once in a life time

When they appear

They make

Earth shattering changes

- – -

They are unlike

Men of butter

That melt under

A relentless sun

- – -

They are problem solvers

Standing for principles

And known for their negotiating skills

As defenders of a nation

- – -

They appear at times 

When a nation is at crossroads

And as they arise

They do not acting arbitrary

- – -

Some women too

Have come to have

Such an attribute

Margaret Thatcher

Was one such women

Who was called the Iron Lady

Successfully served 

As the Prime Minister of England

- – -

Such leaders

Often prove themselves

To be above reproach

    She was the bane of my life and all in my country Scotland she done more damage to us in her 11 years at the helm than the butcher of Culloden in 1745 when he created GENOCIDE on our Nation so I for one will never sit through a minuet of her even in farce cheers,
    sorry but the answer is on her not your post but I hope you understand. yours Matt
