Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Yours Untruly

When much younger than I am now,

I believed truth as power be,

But as I got older, somehow,

That once belief got lost in me,

When I chose to become one who

Lived off how well, power I could

Use to my advantage to do

Whatever might be of most good

For me, and so the truth I twist

In any way that serves me best,

A power grab I can't resist,

To stay winning pick in contest.

As a true politician, I,

To stay in power, have to lie.
