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)

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 Entered Romany Proverb Poetry Contest Sponsor Julia Ward Dated 25/09/2019

In India, the South is the unfavorable side of the world. It's controlled by Yama, the god of death. Interesting poem, Georgia. It's nice to read you again after a long break)
