Honesty! Honestly?

Honesty is but a passing fancy.

No one takes it seriously unless

It works to their advantage,

Then it morphs to paramount.

 

Flags are waived and banners carried

Urging, begging for the truth.

But whose truth do the masses seek?

Whose reality will count?

 

Targets move and facts evolve as

Envy struts and flexes strong to

Muddy waters once pristine and

Bait the tongue with viscous pique.

 

But vision sharpens by degree and

Heralds shout in loud decree

The treasures born in honesty

Are like a finger in the dike.

 

And where will you in purpose be

When life relies on honesty?
