Politician's Grin
when you grin widely
in the glare of publicity,
no hint of your disdain
the public must see,
when morsels you give
to mortals in dire need
hoping to win their votes
and disguise your greed;
your reputation anchored
on ill-repute does attest
to the myth of the truth
of your being falsely honest
in your all-too-obvious
self-serving generosity,
as you grin widely
in the glare of publicity!
