Political ambition


Draped on its box of secrets
The cloak of invisible deals
Wraps politics in its embrace   
And ambition is a precious dust
Grimy aspiration clinging to chance
Waiting like a hopeful patience
For winds of change to disturb it
So it be thought indiscriminate
But it always lies still again
So easy it settles upon its past
When the clouds of opprobrium pass
