Honesties and Truths--Falsehoods and Lies

"The Honesties and Truths"
truly are 
the living proofs
that true treasures 
of the heart
can only 
these impart!

"The Falsehoods and Lies"
are what happens 
when one tries
to con and deceive
with the evil web 
they weave!

"The Honesties and Truths"
act like shelters 
from rain roofs!
They will keep you 
safe and sound
and the devil 
they'll confound!

"The Falsehoods and Lies"
one should 
avoid and despise
for with these 
one cannot win-
they're the 
"Ninth Commandment" sin!

"The Honesties and Truths"
will keep you 
"Satan" proof
so his weapon 
cannot prosper,
nor harm 
can it foster!

"The Falsehoods and Lies"
one should 
always minimize
and speak only 
"Good Word" 
proofs of
"The Honesties and Truths!"
