It is rewarding to be transparent <br />There is an enduring joy <br />In living with open mind <br />A man with two faces <br />Is like a slippery python <br />Though beautiful without <br />Is poisonous within <br />What is the use of life <br />If a man's is beguiled with deceit <br />If my face is holy <br />If I pretend to love <br />If I am outwardly generous <br />Yet my mind is filled with vices <br />Then my living is worthless <br />Only those are transparent <br />Can fulfill divine mandates<br /><br />Babatunde Aremu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/transparent-life/
