Honesty

"Honesty"
You tell ME what it means.
To many, it's just word.
Straining, to be heard.

But to some, including me,
It's a word that deserves to be seen.
Don't you agree,
It's better to be believed everytime you speak?

Conflicts, arguments, wars.
Fights, bruises, and sores.
So many horrors spring from lies,
And yet we have the nerve to ask, "why?"
