Bygone stands Integrity

A value and moral lost and long gone

Bygone stands Integrity

Neither love, nor money, nor fame hath she,

The one who has integrity!

No care hath she,

When honesty dominates her life fully!

To transform the ideal into the action

She has her respect and fairness and responsibility.

To know to live through the sweet uses of adversity,

Keep your cool and maintain your values is integrity.

But values that hath no meaning, that no person cares to know

Is now integrity.

Bygone as the civilizations, lost in the years

Lost is integrity.

Success by false means, winning and cheating

Being a great part of society, fairness and compassion has lost its originality.

Love and laugh, adventure that is good,

Memories that are cherished and forgiveness is the fruit.

To have confused the right with the wrong,

To have forgotten to differentiate between good and bad

Losing our morals and our values to the mutability of the world

Is bygone integrity.

Decisiveness and truthfulness is the essence of purity

That wins over the false impressions of popularity.

To be truthful and courageous

Is seen to be a coward now

Which take us a step back from leading our life with integrity.

Deceit hatred jealousy and lies

Are the devils weapons to make you cry

Lose no hope, but bent to work on making a heaven in hells despair

Respect is not given and hence not taken,

 Excellence is seen as a hole in the person

For the person is a dead soul without integrity.

When pride walks in, steps in the fatal flaw

To break the person and his individuality.

The light that guides your way, may fade away

When you give up on integrity

Lost and wandering will be the soul, without the true morals it used to hold

With no ethics to guide and no happiness to seek, we give up on eternity.

Eyes can lie, while eyes can realize

The true genuineity, a person can fake it,

But the eyes always break the in genuineity

Lost to the world, gone back to nature

Through the corruption and caricature

The person is stooped in blood with an empty stature

For he hath no integrity that’s left the world with its misery.
