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
