| HONESTY |
| Games were made by children to learn to play along
They'd ring-around-the-rosy and sing their silly song. Red Rover Red Rover bids the favorites come over. They choose up sides so early it's no wonder some go wrong. They choose up sides so early to find where they belong. In later years they harden in thought and will and deed They search for others like themselves in order to succeed. The games go on though not so clear the rules meant to heed. The rules of survival are now the rules of the breed. The rules of the games they play are rules that feed their greed. Oh to be a child again when life was simply grown. We seldom had to hide ourselves beneath a mask unknown. The truth was written on our face with purity it shown Until we learned to hide ourselves to satisfy the throne Of kings and queens who ruled our lives till we were fully-grown. A few of us like children yet with honesty still our style We learned so many years ago that life's made up of trials To live each day the best we can and Let honesty and integrity walk hand in hand |
