21st century logic

Honest people have nothing to fear
so you would think
makes sense
seems logical

So you would think
well...
technically...
theoretically...
perhaps...

In due time of course
but wait,
people who refuse to wait
make honesty want to wait

Tell the truth
you hurt their feelings
tell a lie
you keep them happy

In what century has lying ever helped?
The 19th?
The 20th?
yes HERE IT IS...IN THE 21ST

Just one thing
sweep it under the rug
ignore its weird topography
that's just how it was made

So synonyms with honesty:
Asshole
Insensitive
Mean
Blunt
with a million more

Who knew
times would change so much
