Always a Master

writes that inspire a mind not yet alive
events or emotions from your lifetime
leaving brutal truth for the future to find
examples of mankind kind unkind

write it as a rhyme within structured lines
or free verse a ramble to help unwind

be polite and nice to all
or let it go forgettable 

speak with honesty as honour dictates
not sour in slander with its sick taste

If you should plot or ploy 
deepest sympathies your soul destroyed

tell of your opinion
disprove or flatter
negative people just don't matter
because if you don't like but then chitter chatter
you embrace that what negative couldn't be sadder

so if you fail to understand honour and slander,
for you are living for sour, are a boy, always a Master
