the desire to look good,
the need to tell others
what we want them to believe,
our truth as we've constructed it.
But the result isn't an improved image
but a lowered head...not really
because of a growing proboscis,
but the confusion, not remembering
who we told what, not knowing
how to hedge the truth,
not able finally to hold head high...
But as surely as there's cause and effect
from dishonesty, there's a cure.
Inventory your resentments,
find your part, admit the truth
to yourself, to God and to another person
and make amends to those you've harmed.
It will raise the head, give a lift to your step,
improve your whole world, guaranteed.
Every time. Cause and effect.
