Ethics
Untruth and honesty
Are we a generation from truth and untruth
Do we have our mother's advice tucked in
And did she teach us that lying is bad
Bad morally, bad for our reputation
Bad for us and bad for the recipient
Do we make sure our mother is reliable
Then don't pass lying to the kids and others
Have and keep our honesty reputation
And keep it with all we deal with
. . .

Well put. I specially like mother's reference in the poem.
ReplyDeleteIt's simple, isn't it? Until some other role model makes light of ethics.
ReplyDeleteOur mothers and grandmothers taught us true. I can imagine their faces if they were listening to the same news we are listening to.
ReplyDeleteOur mothers taught us well. Telling the truth is such a simple thing. If only everyone would follow it these days.
