"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom"

QUOTE

"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom"

Thomas Jefferson

3rd President of the United States

Honesty

Not at all as simple as a little white lie
When dishonesty is meant to get one by
When lies are nothing but your foundation
Your life becomes an abomination


Not all as simple as stretching a truth
When it becomes a way to show your couth
When it's stretched beyond what will snap back
It's time to set your sails and change your tack


Not all as simple as twisting the facts
There comes a time when your credibilty lacks
When twisting facts is a daily grind
It's clear you are the dishonest kind


When books of fiction are all about you
In everything you say and do
It's time to untangle your fictional ways
And find that truth is all that pays


When people are tired of hearing lies
And your credibility shrivels and dies
Nothing you say is to be seriously taken
And soon you are one to be forsaken
