Oath of Office

I am hereby sworn to governate
beyond the best of my ability
the natural population of this State
in such a manner best befitting me.
I vow the laws and morals to uphold
as beholding to my office and the power
locked in my deadly grip and the untold
legions of my minions. Not a plough or
sword will cut unregulated. Trains
will arrive early, my friends. Conductors will
be nice to you. I vow to break the chains
of bureaucrats in leather chairs. The quill
shall crumble under muscle. Only then
can liberty and freedom reign. Amen!
