Moral life


Honesty is the best policy, knowledge of book.
Recited like a parrot , learnt by heart and mind.
Practice makes perfect , moulded by clay into honesty look.
Life moves directionless, unplanned , and nothing planned on paper signed.

In small shoes, done a theft , gave my word.
Wet eyes faced the hell, nodded on punishment.
Accepted the consequences but saved by honesty and honest words.
Impressed by moral , edged by honesty sharpness but change has made it blunt.

Police caught a theif with silver rose in hands.
Standing at front door , police asking simple questions.
Thief in torn clothes , dark eyes pleading to be heard.
I remember a somber news from somewhere a family starved.

He was the family head, shivering from toe to head.
Wife soul said goodbye , kids in hospital fighting their own battle.
No hope , no food , no money , he stole only to pay the bills & for last rites.
Hour of seeking at my door , life is full of perplexed times.

Police inquiry on report, asking for yes or no.
If I say don't report , chose no but honesty dies.
If I say I proceed , honesty wins and small twin flame in hospital extinguish. 
What to chose , what to do , please tell ne God , have no clue.
Lost in sleepy thought of this dilemma.

Honesty is best policy , I have known.
My brain says yes , but my heart of humanity whispers no 
Humanity the best policy, telling my instinct.
Close my eyes , think on whispers removes all doubt.
Hands on heart , follow the soul and I chose no.

Honesty is the best policy.
Humanity , I chose , humans I finally chose.
Said no to report  , gave him spare change and tonight  case end.
Tears of relief and he falls down , singing the song of forgiveness.
With humanity arise , he got a new life and gave his word that 
He will not do it , he will repent. Change of heart, character change , humanity policy won.
