Honesty

What a clever word
Designed to trick you and trap you into lying
Both to yourself and to the “victim”
But if its all a test anyway, is it really so important
Whether or not you fail or pass?
Who would want to make you slip
Aside from someone searching for a difference
Searching with the idea in mind to catch
Anyway, honesty is a word I use on a regular basis
It ensures that I will tell the truth to the person
When in “honesty”, it’s used as a device to set the mind at ease
For even when we try not to lie, we know not what tomorrow will bring
We don’t know if or when the sun will shine or if it will stay tranquil in the sky
And with words such as honesty, there are a few friends that join him
In his quest for deceit
Such lovely characters as loyalty, trust, beauty, and yes, even hope
Do not be fooled by their games
They aren’t as senseless as they seem
Take this as a warning or as advice it’s really up to you
But don’t stumble on these words or they undoubtedly bring you down
When you can utilize their power to bring you back up
How do I “honestly” feel about this?
I feel it is the truth
But ask me again, I will not lie
I’ll tell you I do not have a clue
