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.
