How frequently are the honesty and integrity of a man disposed of by a smile or a shrug. How many good and generous actions have been sunk into oblivion by a distrustful look, or stamped with the imputation of bad motives, by a mysterious and seasonable whisper!

It was a department where you had honesty and integrity stamped right on you when you came into the Los Angeles Police Department. If you violated that, or if you were a dishonest cop, you were terrible. We got rid of you as quickly as possible.

The supreme quality for a leader is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office. If a man's associates find him guilty of being phony, if they find that he lacks forthright integrity, he will fail. His teachings and actions must square with each other. The first great need, therefore, is integrity and high purpose.

Cause and Effect
Nothing in life is circumstantial,
Everything happens for a reason
And anything you do,
Whether you do it right or wrong
Within a set time framework,
It will have a cause and effect…
Failure and disappointment
Will be the final result
If you are one of those
Drown in desperation
When missing the tool of creativity.
Your works will give you away
Since your name is stamped on it
And only time will tell…
Success is only reserved
For all of those on Earth
Willing to sacrifice their time
Toward the achievement
Of their ultimate goal
Which it should be based on:
Honesty, integrity and ethic
Anywhere in the World!

No Name #3
We arrived too late
Our mouths were opening
I turned off the light
So come on night
You're a witness you
You've seen me interrupt
A good old fashioned fight
So come on night
Everyone is gone
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
Watched the dying day
Blushing in the sky
Everyone is uptight
So come on night
Everyone is gone
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
I know we're not
Illegitimate
In our hearing
So come on
So come on night

A good inclination is but the first rude draught of virtue, but the finishing strokes are from the will, which, if well disposed, will by degrees perfect it, as if all disposed will quickly deface it.
The Law That Isn't
The law that isn't!
But should be...
Integrity.
Integrity.
All kinds of crime,
Have been defined.
But...
One escapes from a state of mind.
Integrity!
The law that isn't.
Integrity.
integrity!

Louder Than Words
I have heard you say the words many times,
but your actions tells me your words are just a lie;
because actions speak louder than words.
If you love me why don’t you hug me?
If you love me why don’t I ever remember a kiss from you?
You say you love but actions speak louder than words.
If you love me like you say you do
why when I need a shoulder to cry on you just shrug?
And when I need a cheering section your voice is silent?
You say you love but actions speak louder than words.
To love someone does not me to say it in a card
on a birthday, Christmas or Graduation day.
To truly love some one you show them with
a hug, a kiss or a call just to say hi.
Mom, you say you love then you need to show me;
because actions speak louder than words
Hurts Like Love
Every Little whisper, every little sigh
Everything about you gets me high.
Each and every movement, every single glance
Leaves me aching, aching for the chance.
Cause it's hard when you're with me
I've been hurtin' so long.
Never been an angel, never been a saint
Never been nothin that I ain't
Guess I always moved on, never took the blame
Stayin' one step ahead of the pain
And you shook me, rattled me right down to my soul
Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't
Sometimes your will tells me you won't
Can't put you off with just a shrug
Cause when you're gone it hurts like love.
Without a leg to stand on, without a reason why
I'm crazy for your love, no place to hide
Looking for a reason to leave it all behind
I'm hurtin for your heartbeat next to mine
Now you shook me rattled me down to my soul
I can't slow down, you are my drug
Your every breath is in my blood
Can't put you off with just a shrug
Cause when it's good, it hurts like love
I felt the danger to my heart, knew you were trouble from the start
Your lovin took me down so hard I caved in like a house of cards
Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't
Sometimes your will tells me you won't
Can't put you off with just a shrug
Cause when you're gone it hurts like love
I can't slow down, you are my drug
You're every breath is in my blood
Been holdin back this fatal flood
When the pressure breaks it hurts like love.
Hurts Like Love

Dishonesty Ruins Relationships
To have a relationship trust is first
some people can take your honesty
and use it to hurt you at worst.
For they are deceiving at best
they use your honesty as a weakness.
They are essentially users and want to play a game
they have their motives which usually are insane.
Very sad when they do their deeds
especially to a Light Worker for their karma
is worse to a larger degree.

A quite true
It may need big heart
To have very good start
You may find it very hard
To forgive their standard
You tryto be kind
People may definitely mind
They may prove unkind
Faults and lacuna always find
Distingusih between good and bad
Do not feel disheartened or sad
It is inherent weakness of human being
It may invite lot of miseries and bring
Friends and enemies may not treat you like
Thy may deceive you much to your dislike
They may cause discomfort and pain
Still your efforts may not go in vain
Honesty and integrity belongs to you
You got to hold and pass through
It is proven and quite true
No need to canvas or woo
It takes years to build
Reasonable time to grow and yield
Can be spoiled in no time
If you fail to show it as object prime
Not even big amount may be enough
People may still try to be rough
Even if you prove to be generous
They may tmake you nervous
It is best medium between you and almighty
If they fail to understand you then it is pity
It may matter hardly and prove nothing
As you may attain closeness for something

Honesty
You steal and take from everyone else do you feel good about yourself
Instead of taking try to give and then you'll feel good about the way you live
honesty need some honesty
too many of us filled with greed overlooking those who need
open your eyes and change your ways open your heart and break away

Try to make good
Try to make good out of worse my son
In the east to give light you are the only sun.
This world is yours be happy here
With honesty integrity and polite behaviour.
You are here to deliver goodness you acquire
Worry not if any ugly is on the way
Temporary all they are and they have no courage
To harm in any manner.
