The Peace of Honesty
What peace does man know?
When he chooses not to show
The sweet taste of honesty
In his chosen destiny.
Honesty is the face of content
Forever the weapon of defense,
To guide the restless heart of man,
Frantically shrugging to take a stand.
Wake up sweet honesty!
Roam this land bold and free,
Condeming ignorance on this earth,
Up to now, from the time of birth.
The garment of honesty is my shield,
Leading and protecting until;
Like the golden setting sun
My days work is done!
