Truth
Truth is not a subjective thing
Not open to be changed
By opinion that suits you better
Not open to point of view
Or emotional deficiencies
There is only one truth
A value no longer valued
A principal continually ignored
Spoken of with importance
But has no teeth
Honesty seems antiquated
Easier to alter than divulge
A façade to those meant to impress
Shame a value I have honored
And owed throughout my life
No matter the personal cost
Has gone the way of the Dinosaur.
Hard though it may be
Honesty is all I expect
The most respectful principal I can offer
To show I care and you matter
