INTEGRITY

not to exploit one's integrity;
do so on side of caution.
perspectives change with tide;
seen with wise inquisitive eye.

mannerisms also change with tide;
not conceding premise of surprise,
or riding moonbeam into sunrise,
with one eye on pie ala mode. 
choosing to tell a lie,
knowing lie will not hide truth.
not to bluff a bluffer;
it is a very fine art
appearing not to see anything
while  yet seeing everything;
both envious and pity.
let sleeping dogs sleep.
not to wake temptation. 

vulnerability overrides purity
fading away in memory 
thought tarnished by time
and silence lay heavy
lay heavy on the pain
with wave of sudden insanity
