What Happen To Honesty

A action in the human repertoire.
But not if you are a liar.
It should be a vital part of you. 
So keep it real and please be true.
It has the ability to cause misfortune to the person who displays it.
Deciet and dishonesty is afraid of it.
One cannot refuse to consider factual information.
After all even villains could cite good intentions.
Has honesty failed to become a cultural norm.
Distrust and dishonesty starts wars and is a reciepe for gossip in a media storm.
Telling the truth use to be a part of the morale code.
But now everyone heart has turned ice cold.
Back in the day morality was based upon empathy and understanding others.
What happen to trusting each other like sisters and brothers. 
The truth stretches all of us.
In God we must believe and trust!

"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom." 
Thomas Jefferson
