I've heard em say...

I wondered often and I've asked
I've heard em say, and they've talked
They talk about love, mention trust
lying is evil, and truth is a must.

Honesty is a policy that keeps integrity
Simplicity is the way to gain morality
Adhere to the principles, never deviate
speak only good, or else dissociate

Patience is a virtue, so wait and see
Never rebel, just let things be
Anger is your enemy, a burning coal
Sorrow is only for the decayed soul

I've heard em say, but what's the fact?
Is gaining trust anything but an act?
Can love ever exist in a hateful world?
Is lying a norm or the truth is blurred?

Be honest, expose, be as soft as wool
Isn't simple another name for a fool?
Following principles only when asked?
Do you know what silence may mask?

What if patience embeds silent aggression?
and rebelling may just be a sign of passion
Not angry enough, the world needs to be mad
Joy cannot be attained, if you are never sad
