Credibility

Credibility has suffered
Believe what I say
Honesty takes a back seat
We can’t continue this way
Be true to your word
Live values through action
Reliable and believable
Avoid bad impact and reaction
Make truth again worthy
Of striving for more
Give young people hope
That good things are in store
For them as they grow older
Ahead they can get
Through effort and intention
Goal setting and goals met
They can count on our words
To mean what we say
To know that our actions
True intent will convey
Leaders have more reason
To set a good example
With deceit and corruption
Higher values do they trample
Society suffers
The future looks worse
Find leaders with true wisdom
Good intentions must be first
Be careful, speak the truth
Mean just what you say
The more we value truth
We will see a better day
