What does integrity mean to me?
it means,
you don't sell out for an advantage,
for a cheaper room  in which to house
your treachery,
integrity is not your domain
not in this city
not in my name.

Among the fleas and the dog ***** of life
I have swallowed my pride
walked clear of the wild side
only to find
I am flying with *****, with the
Frankenstein bolts and the bits
of those half men
who never know when
to quit.

Integrity is what you earn as you learn
and you learn that it cannot be bought,
just a little thought of mine which will
fade like you
in time.
