Man is only as good as the words that he speaks.
Can U trust a man whose speech is full of deceit?
Tell U something, that something never comes 2 be.
Makes a vow sincerely, but that vow U can't believe.
Alters things that happened becuz what's happened is history.
Loses proof so now that proof is just a mystery.
Places blame on others & make them take a guilty plea.
Makes me wonder why they cannot be true 2 self.

Wombman loses self in hurricanes of shopping sprees,
Thinks that if she doesn't bling-bling then she's not pretty.
Makes her face up so her facial flaws cannot be seen,
Wants the spotlight on her so she rocks skintight jeans.
Places self above others & treat them awfully,
Must get cash or goods becuz her company's not 4 free.
She's a queen with a selfish mentality,
She'd rather be envied instead of being true 2 self.

Say U're saved but behave like a prostitute,
Becuz every day U get laid by a different dude.
In the choir & admiring the preacher,
Slip the number after service so he can reach ya.
He's a married man, well known 4 not tarryin'
So-called man of God committing almost every sin.
No room in his closet 4 clothes becuz of skeletons,
He lives & dies a lie when he should have been true 2 self.

Never say U're like this when U're like that.
Becuz everytime U lie, that lie comes right back.
Then U have 2 wipe off prints & disguise tracks,
When U get caught don't take offense at other's wisecracks.
Becuz people call it how they see it, & they'll see a fake,
I cannot say I see a lion if I see a snake.
So if I say something, I say that something truthfully.
Becuz it's a personal rule 2 be true 2 self.
 
this is a complex issue

yet a real simple one

that most don't get

you hope that maturity sets in

in this negative realm we seemed to be wedged in

very well written poet

so much truth here

in true 2 thyself

peace
