An Honesty Kept Within Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

An Honesty Kept Within



No longer can anyone,
Live a life to apply standards and rules.
With them to obey and not refuse laws,
Cemented in concrete to remain forever true.
In these days those old ways are fading quick.
Expressing indifferences has witnessed shifts.

An honesty kept within ourselves,
Has begun to surface.
An honesty kept within ourselves,
Has many exposing a life is sought...
To clarify meaning and purpose.

Judgements to pass are diminishing fast.
And those who had in the past criticized,
Find themselves now the ones critiqued.
Preferences to prioritize with beliefs to keep,
Have today taken a backseat...
If not abandoned to leave in the streets.

An honesty kept within ourselves,
Is a soul that remains no one can exchange.
An honesty kept within ourselves,
God has given regardless who claims...
They have the power to decide outside themselves,
A doing done they can explain.
No one can. Even with a name to change.
