My thoughts. {{edited}}

Why get punished for the truth?
For whats really true?
People beg for Honesty
but when they get it...
just cause its not great...
they seem to run and attack.
If you want some honesty,
shut up and take it.

The worlds so messed up
Liars huddling in groups,
Like they're plotting some ones death.
This is the bigger picture,
the one you CANT see!

You want some suggestions?
It's called an opinion.
Everyone has one,
You and I, myself and you.
My friends and yours,
and yet you must argue
must vent and start fuss.

Vent in a letter.
not where I have to watch,
as awesome poet leaves...
This worlds so messed up,
cause honesty IS the best policy.
