TO CRONIES - SAY NO

There will be 'friends' who will take advantage of your position
Only to push you later into depths of humiliation...

Consider what some public officials are doing today:-
Refusing to declare their true net worth as required by law,
Omitting to list all bank assets so as not to display
Numerous substantial and sudden monies-in and out-flow...
Is this cascade of monies due to the dollar exchange rate?
Exceedingly lucrative then for one could accumulate
Such huge sums of dollars! People now suspect and speculate...

Say 'Never' if your friend asks you to hide his ill-gotten gain;
An oath is sacred; From giving false testimony-- refrain!
You in public office are astute, of this I've no doubt.

Need you throw your lot (and crown) to a pit where you can't get out?
Oh, let not the glitter of gold blind you and make you a lout!
