Asseverate ... Please

Today's word is "asseverate" ... uh-SEV-uh-reyt ... to declare earnestly or solemnly; affirm positively; aver. (Dictionary.com)

Please
Promises were spoken,
A solemn oath was made,
They asseverate all will be well,
All debts will be paid.

They're sincerely bold and brash,
(We're in a happy daze.)
But speeches will be tested,
Under reality's cold gaze.
