Quality placed above
Generosity and Empathy
Ourselves and Others
Live with Honesty

Happy within your skin
Mind body and Deed
On a straight line
Benefits accrued in time

In order to please
Words with ease
Spoken in contradiction
Giving wrong Impression

Wide of the mark
Enunciate and Articulate
Birthed by imagination
Creating a situation
Contrary to reality

Fear of the other
Facing their anger
An important trigger
To give an answer
In tune with their tenet
In course of time forget

Not told in full
Continue to fool
Creativity in flow
Half as happened
The other imagined
Conveyed with contradiction

Thoughts jumbled
Words bungled
Events rambled
Honesty lost enroute
Tracing backwards
To the root
Impossible to find the truth

Consistenty in dishonesty
Oneness in Activity
Untruth to everybody
End result a split personality

Memory a necessity
Covering up possibility
Impossible with accuracy
To recreate activity

Feeling right in a wrong
Duality cemented strong
Medicine not discovered
For the truth to be uncovered

Silence as Answer
Given much better
Not required to remember
Better off than a liar

Discovered at last
Others new first
The lie never worked
Price paid lost trust

Web of deceit
Spun around
The Souls Seat
Most ignoble feat
Act and repeat

Instinct or imbibed
Unhappy with self
Escape from the Actual
Becomes habitual
Without realizing
Second nature Conning

Catches up sooner
For self not the rest
Lie fooled no one
Liar fooled the liar
Truth be told
Suicide of Character
Life not lived
Only acted in front
Of a mirror
Actor and Audience
Both the same
Fooling each other
Forever and ever
