Georgia Kereopa Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

dirty south - a form of rap from the second half of the 1990s in which profanity and sexual themes are dominant. Free Dictionary 

true north principles - timeless principles such as fairness, kindness, dignity, charity, integrity and service. Objective and external reflecting natural laws as opposed to values which are subjective and internal (Stephen Covey)

Nanny Gigi On Liars

Liars distort, manipulate 
do not willingly subjugate
little gossip and whopping lies
let integrity be the prize

Discernment be your lips cement
let the words of truth lament
keep true north, shun the dirty south,
for a fly does not enter a closed mouth

It's nice to read you again after a long break) Georgia Kereopa October 12, 2019 at 4:33 AM Kurt, always great to hear from you and some new learnings for me about India and culture.
