Honesty

*HONESTY*

Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.
Telling the truth sometimes more than we can fathom.
Playing games of truth or lies many times we can’t disguise.

Honesty is more than not lying, it is truth speaking, telling and living.
Often times to protect someone the dark to light always unknown.

Honesty is a very expensive gift, being real is what most people wish.
We walk around in clueless bliss
So easy to forget, so easy to miss 

Honesty pays but not in bills greed, anger what is the thrill?
Misery likes the most company
All in all ,Honesty is the best policy
