Honesty was his Mantra
people who did not know him called him crude, gruff, blunt
those of us who did, understood his logic,
honesty was his mantra
if you did not ask his opinion, he would not give it
But if you did, you knew not to expect molasses or sugar
he told you the truth as he saw it
things you knew already, but did not want to know
he was a strong observer, and a truthful man
honesty was his mantra
he did not diminish it with manners
