The Public Servant (Ambiguity)

The Public Servant (Ambiguity)

The public servant's serving
and he counts on his reward
an index linking pension
wherein public wealth is stored

He serves two careful masters
in the intervening years
discarding broad disasters
and discounting public fears

His mind collects evasion
and his truth sits on the shelf
he serves two careful masters
his own service and himself
