Holding Honor Above All

My honor runs deeper than the core of the earth For it is what makes me the man in the mirror Many things I have learned since my birth But learning makes everything much clearer I think of the one who lives across town The woman who I really do love My head continues to spin all around As I am taught from above I know me and her can never be For honor is something I hold high This is something many cannot see For they choose to cheat, steal, and lie I know that without honor I am worthless Without it I will become bound again To others I would be low and helpless But with it I have a lot to gain It's a shame many chooses wrong Otherwise we would all get along This poem written to answer, "What has Nature to teach us in regards to the Soul?"
