The man who never lied:
They weren t so grateful as you d think
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried
And handed him the poisoned drink.
How honest was the people s noble son.

But soon observed what followed on.
It s honesty that brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none. -
Bertolt Brecht
