Honesty

Deep afflictions and anguishes resonated from the woes of a woman ,

The perfidiousness of her husband perturbed her distressed life.

How miserably she was weeping and exploding out of agony and helplessness ,

When her husband being an ingrate,

Married a young woman and had to face a vitriol in the family.

Loyalty towards the spouse is a important virtue ,

Infidelity often segregates a sweet relation and turns into a war.

A faithful animal like a dog saves the lives of its owner , That innocent animal can consume a poison to protect the family of its owner from danger.

Amidst the hypocrisies that are prevalent among relations,

Some friends indulge in backstabbing in a deliberate precision.

Honesty in a relationship is always a precious asset ,

If we are not trustworthy then it is wise to stay single.

How disloyal they become over such incidents !

In a camouflage their pretentious nature remains hidden.

Even the maidservants seek assistance from us in each and every level of their upheavals ,

When it is time to be at our aid ;

They are like a chameleon often escaping their devotion ,

And responsibilities in a segregated union.

Where honest dealings are expected in each upheaval ,

Why people transgress into a dishonest means ?

Neighbours never escape to enjoy in the paradise of intrigues ,

Forgetting our favours they are so ungrateful that they indulge in the misdemenours.

All the loyalty and honesty is put into a treasure trove ,

As the humans are attracted towards materistic gains and greed in a deluge.

A lover may change his or her mind to commit for a relation ,

Depressions due to infidelity often leads to suicides into a funeral.

Lack of understanding and faith perhaps is a big requirement ,

A society which is enveloped in greed and dishonesty ,

Cannot prosper if commitment is a scarcity.

Like a hurricane several souls are distressed,

Showing disloyalty will never reap happiness.

A younger brother at times cheats his elder one ,

Property matters leads to extensive turmoil and disloyal acts of delusions.

Being loyal we can achieve great heights of happiness and contentment ,

Only if we can control our greed , expectations and unwanted gifts in a sublimity.

To reduce our demands over witnessing others ,

Each of us must only concentrate in acknowledging our limitations.

Honesty and loyalty are rare nowadays as every relation are in a camouflage,

In the grinder of temptation and expectation we are in the midst of several turmoils.

Loyalty seems to be a gem in an expensive show room ,

To possess it one has to be a rich and a pious soul.

With honesty we can climb the best humanitarian goals ,

Without good virtues how can be honesty restored?
