Where Have All the Honest People Gone?

An excerpt from my book entitled, Poems From the Heart.

Where have all the honest people gone?
Those who are full of integrity,
And their word is their word.
They have high standards and morals.
They don't cheat and lie;
They are an example to those passing by.
Their family can look up to them.
Friends and neighbours and kin.
They hold up a standard;
Stand against wrong and stand for right.
They hate injustice and injustice fight.
They are loyal friends to the very end.
They stand for God and the Bible;
They are faithful and true.
They walk tall, yet are kind and humble.
They are strong and wise
And trust in Mighty God.
We need more ones like these;
Will you be that one?
Yes, you.
