Politician

Pretend to care.  It's really not that hard.
You might even squeeze out a tear or two.
Show real concern, fist placed above the  heart,
and practice every day, make sure you do.

It's not for you?  Then how about some rage.
That's easier  -- the place has gone to shit,
and anger might be simpler to engage.
Just short of a full apoplectic fit.

No, not that either?  Oh, you want the middle!?
But that is, frankly, such a loser's game.
For one, its true location is a riddle,
lacks passion or conviction.  Don't be lame.

Pick love or anger.  Masters can do both.
See, there you go.  You're ready for your oath.
