Honesty Take Three

San Gabriel Refrain Take honesty because that's what matters; evasion is the truth - suppressed. Lies thrive on corrupt laws, noisome splatters that cannot get past the smell test. What happens when guilt, gut feelings ensue? If it serves the cause, who cares if it's true? Take honesty because lies thrive on corrupt laws. Corruption takes advantage of the man who can't be bothered to check out the plan. Changing the question, bah, just more glitter - no one knows who, nor what they knew. Talk the truth, man of straw, lead-off hitter of political games seen through. Read The Patrioteer,(Der Untertan) written by German author, Heinrich Mann. Changing the question? bah! Talk the truth, man of straw. Mann writes of a fictional "brave coward," suppressed by the one he has empowered. Though I can't follow through on the chatter by and large, candid stands my test. With guile or candor, I'll take the latter, gauging winds offered by the rest. My eyes see through the hollow of their veil when politicians lie beyond the pale. Though I cannot follow my eyes see through hollow. I know. And I know Another who knows; when all is done, it is truth He'll expose.
