Truth & honesty
TRUTH & HONESTY
There were days when I WAS PROUD
OF MY BEING HONEST AND TRUE
LOOKING AT THE WORLD WITHOUT A SHROUD
ALWAYS READY TO ACT AND DO
IN MY WORDS AND MY DEEDS
IN MY JOY AND IN MY SORROW
HYPOCRISYHAD NO SEEDS
IN THE SPIRITS AND THE INTELLECT MARROW
THEN SUDDENLY EXPERIENCE TOLD
HYPOCRISY IS THE ONLY ART
THAT CAN MAKE YOU VERY BOLD
TO RISE ABOVE FOR A NEW START
YET I ‘M INCAPABLE OF TELLING A LIE
THAT I CAN'T BAKE A PIE
BUT I HAVE LEARNT TO KICK AND KNOCK
THE HYPOCRATIC FACES WITH TRUTH AND HONESTY
