​THE ETHICAL MAN KNOWS

The ethical man knows his brand.
It's a foundation of integrity, honor, and morals, dug deep into the Sand. 
 
The ethical man does not debate. 
It's either ethical or it ain't. 
 
What's missing in far too many places, is an ethical foundation to support most any nation. 
 
The ethical man is well aware that a life absent ethics is bound to go nowhere. 
 
The ethical man knows that a life without values, like cancer it grows, devouring the good and seeking the weak.
Planting tares of despair and leading locusts to eat the wheat. 
 
The ethical man knows he must work hard to oppose agents of hate wherever they grow. 
 
The ethical man does not live in the moment, he knows this race is a marathon, he has studied his opponent. 
 
He doesn't sprint out of the gate.
He doesn’t try to outpace the rest of the race.
He executes his plan knowing he must endure this race to the point when honor and character are all he can taste. 
 
The ethical man knows that he leaves a legacy, rooted like a tree, reaching for the stars for all to see.
 
When the ethical man looks in the mirror, he should see ethical men throughout history and all the ethical men that will be.
But, most of all, the ethical man should see you and me.
