Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 What If?

In ancient Egypt tale be told

Of an eloquent peasant who

Proclaimed injustice loud and bold.

Powers that be ruled he told true.

This peasant only did prevail

Because he was so eloquent

In version given of his tale.

But was it truth he did present?

What if this peasant really be

A master of the lie to spin,

And felt so confidant that he

Eloquently lied and did win?

Oft time the truth be poorly said,

And eloquent lie rules instead.
