An Honest Man's Poem

My word is my Gold No ifs nor buts attached A spade’s a spade A joker’s a clown in a circus charade I think carefully before speaking out Knowing my feelings maybe bias I censor my mouth If need be And Up against a Wall I’ll tell it like it is... Never being disrespectful Sometimes the truth may get you killed I avoid all kinds of liars For where there’s smoke Surely there’s fire Certainly, Misery loves company they say So if it's looking for a Victim I'm getting Out of the WAY My Voice is my SOUL What I Choose to say I hold My Word is my GOLD
