The Cunning Man

The leader claimed he conserved what was good He claimed he ruled as well as any ruler could The cunning man’s intentions were still unclear Could he be trying to abort all still unborn ideas? Or was he just hoping he could sway us to the right Prove to us a government operates better light More like a family who stands by the father Even if he turns out to be an absolute bother Never apologizing or admitting wrongful doing And keeping his supporters from ever booing, Being disillusioned or going completely insane From too much aggravation and headache pain. A leader who is himself and never puts on airs He keeps telling us what the country needs I wish he would just admit to his savory deeds
