A few white lies if they are infused in my truths
Will they make my moods and personality uncouth?
Masked in civilities if I pass off unscrupulousness
Will peoples turn a blind eye to the casual callousness?
There are honesties to live by and deceits to sort
Long story short. If I choose right then wrong I must abort
A few oversights if they further my self-interest
Will it be fine to transgress the lines even if in jest?
Veiled in wealth and stealth if I flex my muscles
Will it rule in my favor if I have and win the tussle?
There are no grey zones there are no thin lines
Integrity is clear cut any which way one defines
A few issues discounted and brushed under my carpet
Will I dictate terms of endearment or will I remain puppet?
All sins are equal and some are more equal than others
Do I compare with the arrogance and iniquities of anothers?
There is no escape from defrayal of your registers and records
One life. One death. Deeds and misdeeds. Go calculate the odds
