"dishonesty" poems
If honesty is with everyone and in everything ,then It's called clear dishonesty ... Honesty tells itself By itself ... We can not mix both Honesty and dishonesty Anytime,anywhere,and everywhere Simply because they are both Like parallel lines that never meet Even if they try anytime ...

Honesty
So the day I say I'm done,and finished with it all.. Was the same day that the house of cards I built began to fall, Karma huffed and puffed and blew it all away, Whether i deserved it or not? well its hard to say, I need to take it easy but im living life the harder way , Living life day to day - there's gotta be a better way, Love Drunk from the potions from Amy's wine house , I sobered up but it was only to find out - Your lion-like roars turned to Microsoft words, I was in my own word - she was in hers, No, I'm not modest and dishonesty's a problem for my nerves, Approach the point of no return? We def on the verge, Better yet the brink, and to think, our past you rubbed away - Washed down the metaphorical sink, And now all sounds of trouble power point to YOU, My mind is now tainted, as you are in my point of view, I'd hate to break the glue we used to make the news, But i have to go away from you - Later boo..

Ms. Take
Pain brings out the best in people And somewhere in between In the middle of good and evil Is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen She radiates on golden airwaves Among the valleys of time And halfway down heaven's stairway She blows your doubtful mind There's dishonesty in honest men Somewhere beyond the grave And when they get lost in it There's no woman they can save If falling for you is wrong Then I don't want to be right Sing with me, uncertainty And stay with me tonight

Right and Evil
Satan loves the sport of fishing. His tackle box filled with bait, he goes out to the lake of life to cast his line…and wait. The devil knows us, every one and knows which lures to use. In accordance with our weaknesses he determines which to choose. Dishonesty, *********** pride, selfishness and hate. False witness, greed, the list goes on.. The sin becomes the bait. Many bite and are deceived. And in a snap they’re hooked. They learn too late that Satan’s bait is not as it had looked. Our Savior hopes we choose the right for this life is our test; and when we choose to follow Him we truly will be blessed. So feed on Heavenly Fathers words. Great blessings will be yours, as you watch and pray, and stay away from Satan and his lures.

Satan's Lures
O Beloved. Wound me with tenderness as I embrace Your living flame of love. Burn away my fears and self-pity that holds me back from being consumed by the flames of Your love. Ignite the hearth of my own heart, so I may share Your living flame with tenderness to spread the flame of divine life. Melt away my insecurities and dishonesty, so I can stand before You as a living flame burning wildly to embrace everything as a gift from You.

flame of divine life
Like a male monkey you rises up And thumps hard your chest-it is you and you only! O Man! You forgets, who you are and what you are is Nature’s She generously gives and she avariciously takes- Just a few chances she is giving you to repent before she ruthlessly returns She is a sharp, doubled edged sword-merciful and merciless! Man, Humanity is not hostility: Humanity is humility! Like Sheol that is never satisfied you want to swallow the whole world Like death you want to take everything, big-small-you want to stomach all Everything you want to keep to yourself, to be to your entitlements You take and leave nothing at all for the harmless hopeless-the voiceless Yet you easily forgets, when the angel of death calls it’s only you and your soul in burials Your ill amassed pride, wealth and health is not with you anywhere in this your brutal trials Man, Humanity is not gullibility: Humanity is generosity! O man! O man! You fills the whole world with mortality You have killed the sole essence of the soul’s endless immortality With your undignified dishonesty, your free-will to filthy immorality War you begins wealthy to get-war is a supernormal profiting business Man, Humanity souls has never been subjects to severity but sanctity! Innocent-as little as little children-you murders-they were inevitable! Common civilians’ deaths are collateral damages-inescapable! You forgets who you are-you are a little loaned, little you returns for judgment Here no allies to look after your backs, no cracks to corruption kickbacks- It is the fairest of all hearings, a ***** for a ***** it is not for a big spoon! Man, Humanity is not ignobility: Humanity is dignity! What you are given to govern you governs not What you are given to take care of you pilfers all For you and your lineages eternal legacies-the richest ever to have graced the earth! Yet you forgets, Master a little while returns to put you to a rigorous account And whoever much is given-that much is also expected, what will be your report? Man, Humanity is not royalty: Humanity is loyalty! Humanity is a community, not a sorority of individuality! Humanity is not infidelity: Humanity is honesty Humanity is not how wealthy: Humanity is how a loyal legacy Humanity is not how large is your multinationals entity: Humanity is how huge is your small heart-its hospitality Humanity is a humble history, a saintly story! © Kìùra Kabiri.

secrets, mysteries, dishonesty, misleading, illusions, all of this words mean a lot to me, i've used all of them, had them used on me, but most of all i understand them, understanding is the most important, because its not just about seeing when they have been used, but how to use them to protect yourself, protect your heart and mind, your soul and your life, there will be times when you need to mislead people so you are safe, times when you need to keep secrets so others are not hurt, but also when to tell a secret or break one open, but understanding is more than that, its about seeing that no matter what you do, it will be painful, it will make you cold inside, and it will change you. secrets, mysteries, dishonesty, misleading, illusions, all of this are important, to see, to use, to understand. life is hard, life is tough, secrets hurt but they also protect, mysteries surround every person we have to break and untangle them, dishonesty is hard and nasty but is needed in a world where every one leads us astray, misleading is every where we need to understand how to find the right path, and finally illusions are simple yet complex we use them to hide our pain but we get hurt by the through out our life. for us to live, to see, to be free, we need to understand, to be set free.

Secrets, Mysteries, Dishonesty, Misleading, Illusions
I used to live in a country That was based on liberty And where just anybody Could achieve prosperity That with assured equality And working diligently One could expect definitely To succeed economically If you saved all the money Left over from your salary To save to bring your family A step closer to solvency. Not an impossible proposition, It was based on the condition Of a grand national institution Which promised that stabilization By taxing us and corporations With an equitable correlation Between folks of humble station And the larger organizations Working in happy syncopation. A welcome feeling of elation Would descend upon our nation And keep us from stagnation Or going into nationwide deflation, Or just as scary, a huge inflation. Now I look upon our history And see decades of misery Laid upon us by calumny By those meant to fortify And build up our security. The constant forces of calamity If we accept less than probity From those who have no honesty Choosing leaders based on beauty A national cult of personality Then permit political chicanery By people with no dignity Only a greedy criminality That pretends to propriety And a devout base of spirituality When what we have is actually A kangaroo court of dishonesty Without a care for the citizenry.

DISINTEGRATION NATION
* An old  Song on  King Maveli goes somewhat like this. When the legendary King Maveli, Once governed over the land, God’s own country, Kerala, All the citizens had equality; And citizens were joyful and cheerful; They were all free from mischief; There was neither worry nor illness, There were no lies, prevailing; There was neither theft nor dishonesty, And no one was false in words either. Measures and weights were right; No one cheated or mistreated. When Maveli, our King, ruled the land, All the people created one caste-less race; And lived harmoniously as one family * ** WILLIAMSJI MAVELI* www.mavelinadu.com www.maveliveedu.com [email protected] **

An Old Song on KING MAVELI*
Sitting in the dark wondering when will I find someone worth knowing, worth noting. You tell me that there are many, all around me and beyond, But you lie or are mistaken because all I see are mismatched people to my desires. I want to learn from this Her, To kiss her sweet lips, To render myself senseless by touching her body, To lose myself in her eyes. But it seems that this unfeeling Thing, does not let me get close with anyone, before I find their flaws and start pondering how to break their heart. It seems that I set my standards too high, or they have theirs too low, but the fact remains that I am betrayed: by dishonesty and cowardice, by laziness and greed, by stupidity and facades. but most of all: by the immoral, the obsession with nothing but pleasure with no depth. I am a confused and lonely thing, searching in the dark for a feeling Thing. what is this Thing I seek? Well dear reader, Nothing less than a good Heart. One to heal me, in return for being healed, before this hollowness becomes a shadow and swallows me whole, leaving nothing but a crass man, a cruel and callous thing undeserving of the veracity of Love.

Unfeeling Thing, Confused Thing
These are the hearts that we put to sleep, These are the lines we're said to keep. We play around like swing sets in the park, keeping our distances like the sun. I'd like to pick you apart, Be the artist that stole your heart, Out of that complex body part, Like intricate puzzles we adore, The mess we are sorry for. You said it didn't exist, but here it resides, In the hole it was first designed for, I fell in love with a vacant place, Used for your secrets your top drawer can't hold anymore, Where you hid your favorite sins away. You're the one I adored, Along with the empty room you wore, I was evicted with your dishonesty, Which is why I'm here on display for you dear, You’re the reason I can't forget this season every year.

Chivalry
In this trouble torn. Grief stricken world Only music embalm my aching soul When corruption and bribery are the order of the day Goons and rowdies show me the real way Even the judges succumb to dishonesty Morals and ethics have lost their identity The veena, the flute, the clarinet, the drums And the guitar make a soothing effect to my ears When there is   incredible symphony The distinction between East And west is totally lost Only peace and harmony forever last Music is more intoxicating than vine It is undoubtedly divine There is music in the blowing wind, Flowing stream, chirping of birds, The hissing of  snakes, The bleating of a goat And the beating of a heart And the passing of blood to each human part But understanding the synchronization is a difficult art

FUSION OF MUSIC
I was raised by a pack of fools Who proclaim Caucasians are the best. And are glad to fight, at the drop of a hint To put the whole matter to the test. They have an entire joke routine And descriptive names they repeat In minimizing and insisting that Their right to decent treatment isn’t real. There are references to some animals And unfunny comments about color. The statements about characteristics Of body and features always go together With a special set of gross anecdotes To cover any kind of non-Christian belief. And the refusal to consider equality As a decent attitude stands in bright relief. Beneath all this horror, not very deep, Lies a sickening river of hate and fear That fails to improve as education is Rejected year after disgusting year. Pointing out the error of their ways Might earn you a punch in the eye But the bigot hangs on to their rage And never gives fellowship a try. The American Bigot claims to be A staunch Christian all the way through Which forces them to hate and cheat And lie as much as Jesus would do. Of course, we know that Jesus was A preacher of love and acceptance But it seems that bigots never quite Made that Jesus’ acquaintance. So, here we can see we need to add Some terms to this kind of individual Whose relationship to peace and love Is at best slight, scant and residual. We also need to append to their titles Of masters of anger fear and prejudice The unhealthy pallor of indecency, Dishonesty, inhumanity and cowardice.

I went to church but I couldn’t really believe in God. The trouble was my mind was closed to the possibility. I could not accept that there was something more to our existence. Something impacting our lives that we can’t see or touch? Most of all, I wanted to make my own choices And not think they were wrong. I killed God within me, all by myself. Thomas, the Apostle, did not believe others. They told him, “We have seen the Lord”! But Thomas couldn’t accept truth. He said, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hand And put my finger into the nailmarks and Put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” John 20:25 God showed up and gave him the chance. I always wanted proof like Thomas received. Didn’t really want to put my hands into terrible wounds… That sounded a bit disgusting. I had no understanding that my wounds; were His wounds. As I lived with deceit and rejection and dishonesty I WAS placing my hand into His nailmarks. When we least expected it, God will show up. “Weeping comes for the night; but at dawn there will be rejoicing.” Psalm 30:6

Morals
I had some bad news to deliver, So I took her to my spot The bench under the tree, With all its gnarled knots The bench right by the creek, Right where the turtles like to play A sacred spot of rest, And shade on sunny days I sat her down beside me, And prepared her for the worst Something so horrible, It had taken eight weeks to rehearse I really wish he'd told her, Like he said he would Should have known an aggressor's word Is rarely ever good I told her all there was to tell, I answered every question And then I found myself alone, Silence in all directions She walked so far away, That I couldn't hear her voice My story then repeated, To the person of her choice I waited on the bench, And then waited some more I made a small bouquet, From flowers on the shore I tied it up with grass, And set it to the side Such a mindless act of beauty, I'm shocked I didn't cry Not a sound escaped my lips, Even after she returned From the feeling in the air I knew, The meeting was adjourned Less than one day later, She sat me down backstage Though her conclusions were ill-founded, Her words stung all the same Eight weeks of work and "it's not your fault" She did her best to make undone Not only did I encourage him, But I broke the essence of our bond My dishonesty, my silence, Can never be forgiven My every flaw as a friend, Unasked for, yet still given Her final words were pure spite If I'd only told her that same night But how could I have told her, What I didn't understand? In an effort to escape the room, I may have kissed her man Four months to process, Four hours locked away But I never knew peace, until I made that bouquet.

I had some bad news to deliver, So I took her to my spot The bench under the tree, With all its gnarled knots The bench right by the creek, Right where the turtles like to play A sacred spot of rest, And shade on sunny days I sat her down beside me, And prepared her for the worst Something so horrible, It had taken eight weeks to rehearse I really wish he'd told her, Like he said he would Should have known an aggressor's word Is rarely ever good I told her all there was to tell, I answered every question And then I found myself alone, Silence in all directions She walked so far away, That I couldn't hear her voice My story then repeated, To the person of her choice I waited on the bench, And then waited some more I made a small bouquet, From flowers on the shore I tied it up with grass, And set it to the side Such a mindless act of beauty, I'm shocked I didn't cry Not a sound escaped my lips, Even after she returned From the feeling in the air I knew, The meeting was adjourned Less than one day later, She sat me down backstage Though her conclusions were ill-founded, Her words stung all the same Eight weeks of work and "it's not your fault" She did her best to make undone Not only did I encourage him, But I broke the essence of our bond My dishonesty, my silence, Can never be forgiven My every flaw as a friend, Unasked for, yet still given Her final words were pure spite If I'd only told her that same night But how could I have told her, What I didn't understand? In an effort to escape the room, I may have kissed her man Four months to process, Four hours locked away But I never knew peace, until I made that bouquet.

I've been through this before, You think I won't catch on. I pay attention, Its not that hard to see. One minute you give me the world, The next you hardly give me a glance. I make the effort, You used to do that too. You give me excuses, Now we hardly talk. I knew it was too easy, Too good to be true. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, And it did. I'm not going to beg, I deserve more than a read text. If you won't put in the effort, Then neither will I. I gave you chances, The benefit of the doubt. You showed your true colors, And their nothing but darks. I thought we clicked, Felt a spark as we talked. I opened up to you, Slowly but surely.. You even stopped No longer cared Now we're here. I thought we could have been more, But I deserve a better man. A man who makes the effort, And manages their time. I tried with you, I really did.... I don't care for liars, Despise dishonesty. You can lie to my face, But I knew you were a liar. There's nothing more to give, I doubt we'll talk again. Those sweet words, As empty as the air. Don't bother now, I started moving on from you. Tomorrow will be a new day, And a new possibility for love.

Playing the Game
fangs dripping poison—dripping with death. yellow eyes slither stalking, so hypnotic in their convincing; in pursuit, our every step pressured into flight’s direction. a nightmare’s seed planted beneath pillow, following into dream. the serpent’s coil riding headrest’s rooting *********** even slumber thought safety infected. a viper of self-consciousness, the familiar of societal impositions fuelling reflection’s hostility; its venom—an injection of insecurity. fangs dripping poison— fangs dripping with dishonesty.

Slither Stalking
Prosperity requires the fortitude to be cruelly decisive and cuttingly deceitful in every conceivable endeavor; Cruel and unrestrained ambition will lead to life in the lap of luxury; Duplicity and dishonesty lie with success and supremacy; The mixture of forceful action with lurid lies results in a beautifully tainted cocktail. Would you drink...? Do you believe...?
