High Standards Indeed Poem by Eric Bult

Last night I dreamed that we were visited
By beings from another planet in
Our galaxy. I was indeed astounded
To know what they believe is truly sin:
Any falsehood spoken, even written,
Which is then intended to deceive
Those to whom the words are sent or given,
Even without proof of their receive.
Imagine if you will if in this world
We lived according to these standards now.
The flag of truth would always fly unfurled,
Deceit would be unknown and we would bow

To honour and to graciousness which seldom
Adorn the brow in humans in Earth's kingdom!
