Honesty is built on trust,
bedrock and stone.

To build a city
you need communication,
straight forward instructions,
and people with different skills for each task.

A team builds a support,
a foundation.

A structure can fall a part
but without an honest blueprint
there’s nothing you can do.

Lies break infrastructure
causes cracks within the
foundation and fragile
walls that have no support
beams. They have no support
nor care for your desires.

So why would you follow
a liar or crook through a fire?

Wouldn’t you rather survive
and know the status of your
family members?

How does war put out the fire?
Have you ever seen a war
that ended without death
or burning infrastructure?

Peace is the winner of the raise,
it brings patience freedom and
prosperity. Honesty can bring peace and strength.
