Honestly, Honesty

Honestly, Honesty

by Christopher Rossi

a girl with
a personality,
expensive taste,
soft skin and                     an honest embrace...
          that is what I want.
Honestly,
honesty is a rare trait these days,
in a world of animosity,
all seem phony all betray.
                    As I escape my fate
          I become my own face-
society around me
is different from me,
          identically.
As the day begins to fade,
my work is done; a drink, I say!
A drink I'll have in Gonzo's Pub
to escape the people's fray.

A Girl...
with honesty
that is what I want...
          I'll take another shot please...
