Insincerity is paramount if worn with cap in hand
It’s spread about with great largess by the leaders of this land,
Hand shake’s calculating eye with stern demeanour set
Engaged with alacrity as duplicity’s are met.
******* by the dray load is fed to all by they
Who could not lay down straight in bed whilst on a Bible say….
That what is said is what is meant and what is meant is right
That promises to the other guy mean nought when out of sight.
That candour is forgotten here, that honesty is lost,
And the ranting heard on prime time feed is rationalised at cost!

Oh! for just a moment’s pause, a quiet moment spent,
In frank and honest discourse where both sides can relent
To share a candid, mutual trust…a thing, these days, so rare
That thunder bolts may rend the sky,
Dare we… to venture there.
