Honesty Is the Whole Package

Honesty is the whole package Blowing the other bridges to bits Living her truth Loving her people Utterly trustworthy A well-put-together package of respectfulness, goodness, and fair trade. BOOM! What was that? The lies of men blowing themselves up in their confused dendrite fields Trying to keep themselves straight but losing bitterly For the truth is easy But the lie has to be re-done, She never shows herself without conflict Truth's nature is easy. to convince people of her worthiness she just has to be Lie's nature is to perpetually be disbelieved Unhonored, unrevered, and disrespected BOOM! There they go, blowing themselves up One after another BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! I get no satisfaction in listening Recognizing the sorrow caused by sad betrayals and hurt feelings caused by liars

It's disheartening that today people grow up focussed.....good people end up loosing....honesty, integrity, respect, love and understanding,...all are vanishing.

It is sad that I am teaching character education lessons that parents, Sunday school teachers, grandparents, and coaches used to teach but today's child is parked in front of a tablet on weekend, because it is easier for the parents.
