An Gobharnoir
He felt the pull of governmental gravity
engulfed in it he rose in society
the weight of acting as Governor
justified a climb that lasted forever
He struggled in rarified air to soar
riding political winds evermore
and during periods dark and unforgiving
spoke words that gave hope to the dying
Like the incarnation of the Savior
he used his life's labor
to procure young women, his delight
and asked them to work late at night
His anxious lips freely given
surprised those who were awe-stricken
and his wayward touches masked hypocrisy
full of perceptions lacking decency
Tarnished reality eventually stained his deeds
and in disgrace with desperate need
he swallowed his pride under duress
packed his bags and left
