I Solemnly Promise



Potentially the promise is
Assumed to be the utmost rite
Though all too often delicate
Reduced to merely might
Much confusion on-condition-of
When a promise made to pander
Ignores the legal ultimate
In breach of 'pacta sunt servanda'
Binding in good faith and truth
Where solemn promise rarely fails
Unless the trickster using confidence
Can pledge a string of Fairy Tales
A promise is an honest guarantee
Based on confidence and trust
Where the civilised are honour bound 
To meet the outcome as discussed
