Death Before Dishonor by =Ex1:iconEx1:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Fixed


These words define me
As a recognizable trait it's all you see.
Some may wonder what it really means
As if they really give a hill of beans.
For me it is a way of life, a creed.
It helps govern both thought and deed.
Many years have warped my perception
I see right through deception.
It sickens me to no end
I won't stoop to it, I will not bend.
Ask me a question and feel free to believe
My words as a response truth you recieve.
Call my honor into question and my life is on the line.
The essence of being he who speaks words that bind.

Author's Comments

The last piece of the puzzle that is my personality. If you missed the coin on edge, Madman [link] or the always busy Chosen One [link] there they are. This is the third in a series of three.

I feel this way and can't change it. Not many people can agree with me but that's alright. I live by this and thusly I am.

I don't know if you remember but you told me I should stop by your gallery again....so I took your advice, and I must say I envy your talent (!), this is a great peice.
and I do agree and relate to this way of life...yet honor is a precious find in people these days...

P.S. - your first two poems in this series are also great...if this is your personality then we have a something in common.

faved.

Thanks. I'm glad you like them. It's not often that honor even exists in people anymore, if we share this in common then I am glad you faved this and the other poems.

very well composed............i like all of them actually. I am glad to see someone out there that believes in honor........if there were more like you i believe that we would excel more rather then to give in to corruption

Thank you. I cannot stand to do what others think is commonplace and expected especially with the ease and familiarity they use while lying. Corruption could be a thing of the past if there were more like me but the world would be dull if everyone were so similar...
