In Politics The Truth

Of the sincerity of most politicians one has to cast some doubt
One must ask when they talk of love of Country what are they on about
Since most politicians enter politics only for self gain and little else more
Forgive me for quoting something that has been said many times before
Any politician honest with their feelings of him or herself would say
We are in it for the power and the influence and of course the great pay
But for them to tell the truth on such a matter their political career they would bring to an end
In politics the truth it cannot be your friend
There is some truth in the saying that most politicians in their ways are the same
They are only in it for the money the power and the fame
So few politicians to their words remain true
In the politicians we elect to parliament we are receiving in life what is only our due
On the word of a politician you cannot depend
For in politics the truth it cannot be your friend.
