The Means To An End

The Means to an End
By Franklin Price
10/22/2015

The means to an end right or wrong,
Will tell where it is you belong.
Truth in the beginning
Will minimize sinning
And help you as you move along.

If it's a  lie that you tell to begin,
Must tell another again and again.
When finally you're caught,
Will have served you  for naught,
And trust gone from even your kin.

Means used, tell the life that you lead;
Truth and fairness or lying and greed.
If the former is true
And the latter not you 
You're the kind of a person we need
