Broken Promises

promises.
so many promises.
all about the world.
even i.
promises made.
so many promises broken.
promises of change.
promises to help.
promises to love.
all promises broken.
is this our world?
never to keep promises.
words.
so cheap now.
one can never believe.
never trust a promise.
are we to destroy ourselves.
through broken promises.
of all promises to keep.
keep the promise of change.
give us no more.
broken promises.
