People Say

I have heard people say This statement day after day, Live your life to be known and seen by all Then truth they will know and recall. Then if anyone ever speaks badly of you, No one would believe it to be true. I've seen those with the greatest reputations Those with loving and caring relations, Hiding great evils and sin Which they try to tuck away deep within. Unto others they are two known factors, They are great liars, and actors. I've seen people of upstanding character stunned When they are slandered and also shunned, When in rumors and gossip people believe Instead of trusting instincts, which do not deceive. This one great masterpiece I will paint, I'll always take an honest misfit over a counterfeit saint. Randy L. McClave
