Optical Phenomena

Trust me— When I say to— Say-may I trust you-to? Trust-me, I may to-you. When me-say— Spihshhhhhh… Too you— Trust me—got-to you-do. Why must we trust got-to? We must trust you know who? Know when we must say-you— You say I got-to shoo— May you allow me to? Me must-say— Spihshhhhhh—to-you— Trust must know-way to shoo… Why got-to shoo say-you? Trust me—got-to you-do. How may I shoo to-you? When me-say I trust-you… Now must may-you-say— Shoo… May I say what to-do—? You-got-to-do trust who. Trust me— Say may I trust you too? Me must say— Spihshhhhhh— Trust who…? -9-25-15

I have to admit this one just left me confused. I'll have to come back to it another time and give it a fresh look.

That sounds fair. I suppose Ruben's comment explains my intention fairly well. I was attempting at a play-on-words primarily using liking words, since this type of writing is a challenge for me. And 'trust who' at its end... Trust (or lack thereof) is a big part of my poetic philosophy. I relate to childhood when I found out Santa wasn't real. I felt betrayed by the entire world, more importantly by my loved ones. From then on, I began to question nearly everything that I thought was self evident truth(s)...

Trust should be freely given until its taken away. Such is not the case as trust must be earned; this keeps us all divided and evolutionary deficient.
