Honour

Honour, Is a word

Often misunderstood,

 Misused

Like the pills On my Mantle

 

My family knows Honour

(What is it? Is it solemn tears or solemn vows)

Yes,  Honour?  “honour.”

 

 Water flows down

 My head, Is numb.

 And there are hands-

 Hand prints on my body.

 

 But honour is first,

 And I am last

 

 In the race of mankind
