Honor


It's something you don't brag about,
or lightly use in jest.
It used to be a word of pride,
but now it's just a test.

It seems to be forgotten grace
from friends so long ago;
their word and one small handshake,
would strike a legal blow.

But now that trust has fallen prey
and truth a twisted lie;
It makes you wonder where it went,
this love of days gone bye.

So mellow out, save your breath
and watch this world at play;
they'll find out what, real honor is,
the coming judgement day.

"But now that trust has fallen prey

Excellent write, Karl.
This verse brings it home for me.
Trust, truth, and honor.
It seems to have evaporated.
But as you say, some day it will be restored.

Enjoyed.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Maranatha!

Jl,
..The time is coming closer,
final days before the Lord;
Soft words were used the first time,
this time He brings a sword.

Powerful statement.  Honor within the realm of humanity is pretty much fallacy, indeed.  But we all will know Honor on that day.

Good write.
Michael

Michael,
..As many years as it took to
find the straight and narrow,
I'd like to be here when the
big day arrives.

Thanks-            Karl
