The Stain on Honesty

It creeps in shadows deep,

Where promises are sold

And difficult to keep.

The rules are bent, 

And the truth is lost,

And justice pays a heavy cost.

Behind closed doors, 

the greedy deals are made,

While honesty is about to fade.

It takes away the trust and hope,

And turns fair ambition into smoke.

With every next day,

the world is growing cold,

And dreams are bought, 

and values are being sold.

But now it’s a high time 

We must take a stand,

And should clean this greed 

from every stained hand.

For a society where truth can rule

Away from thoughts

That are deceitful.
