I want governments to be truthful
And never to tell lies
I want the government be be fair
And to work hard with both sides
I want lies to be outlawed
And penalties applied
I want truth to be upheld
And leaders to be wise
I want love in the high chair
To settle the disputes
I want love to be right there
And to give rebukes
Because the sins of rule are many
They fall down like hail
It’s difficult to keep warm
When rulership starts to fail
And not to harm another
In the name of any law
And to love your neighbour
Without keeping score
Dream on! (Sadly).
