Best Honesty Poems

What’s needed now is pure honesty.
Transparency, please transparency.
What good is there in an illusion?

It's time for some honesty about P D & Me.

GOD has made us with the same soil.

Black money lights.

Forgive me
for all the apologies I didn't write,
for all the times
I didn't get it right,
for all the times
all I did was lie,
and for every time I made you cry.
The guilt eats me alive,
it makes me feel dead inside.
This isn't about me though,
it's about all the...

Honesty

 

Is omission dishonest, a deliberate deception,

Or is it a weapon, to use at my discretion?

To be open and honest of all of my flaws.

Or build walls, fences, barricades and doors?

 

I sit and I ponder just how much of me,

Is acceptable to divulge, or keep mystery?

Is...

Material items are valued as great wealth
but what I treasure above all else
are the qualities of truth and honesty.
I've no tolerance for deception and lies.

Condolences or hugs, the sweetest rhymes,
Given as free as breath, to share or take,
True friendship’s memories of happy times.

Respectful of her sister, humble, too,
And now, respect and friendship're at an end.

Women of a certain age
Pour hearts out on the written page.
Tarnished by a tangled past
Now silence gained a voice at last.

And survival, jobs, free moments few,
Recording life behind their eyes,
The chores got done and families thrived.

Beauty wanes, youth’s spark subsides,
But...

Even though some other people call it a bunch of bull.

Some don't pay their taxes for there is an aberration.
As time goes by they holler, "Statute of  Limitation".

They live in a life of...
