Honesty

Honesty rhymes with hypocrisy Which is a mockery, so like time if you have to--Dock me Because I am guilty of word play Some hear say, then repeat with a somewhat truth What is that? Is that honesty? Is that telling it how it is? Keeping it real? Keeping it funky? Someone correct me Tell me if I'm all wrong, and teach me of the right Like my mother did when I was a child She attempted to be honest with me once, But failed because of her faith in discretion But if honesty is true, like someone saying 1 + 1 equals 2 Then why leave out the details? Tell only the parts you want others to hear, then bury the rest in your closet Like secret accounts, we make deposits Something is wrong with this logic Of being honest and being true Battling with being nice or being cruel Having lots of friends or having just 2 We all gotta choose, between being silent or being outspoken The question is, where does honesty lie in between both?
