Nothing But the Truth
I wonder if the profit's less
in truthfulness
than in deceit and fabrication.
Could honesty be overrated?
Has anyone deduced the cost
of everything they might have lost
by being able
to spit their death to every word they've ever stated?
Might our happiness be greater
if we showed enough consideration
to practice truth in moderation?
