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!
