I am obsessed with honesty –
Two-way.
Excuse me if I sound
‘Holier-than-thou’.
It’s a wretched addiction,
An unfair expectation,
And a crazy passion,
An unrequited act.
Should I be so unrelenting?
Need I go mad
When others swerve?
Deeds of dishonesty
Are often left unfurled
Right on my way,
Just for me to see.
It’s a hoax, I fear.
The bull sees red
And goes hysterical!
Why not put an end
To this cruel game?
Let them do it,
But do me a favour –
Make me blind to it!
