No, I won't condone these lies that you espouse,
That a politician has to lie to get the job done,
I won't accept the excuse that their intentions are pure,
For that's a falsehood that should not be spun.
It's not okay to deceive, no matter the cause,
And to do so is a disservice to trust,
To say that lying is okay is an evil affront,
It's an attitude that we mustn't adjust.
