Circle of Trust

Something strange is happening within the Circle of Trust, Those within have started forming squares, Some of which contain little triangles, And drawbridges are no longer all down. The circle has now stopped growing, With trust being transferred to Lawyers, And their Cylinders of papers. Safely tied up with legal ribbons. If any more stop holding hands, We may no longer have a circle we can trust, To be a round. With a wave of distrust sweeping the land, It will need all hands to the pump, Or all we will see is a flat liner. It still may be possible to re-establish that which has been lost, Should we ever see the need to pay the cost, Of helping the Untrustworthy become trustworthy, So, the Circle of Trust can be restored to its former glory.

Thank you for reading. Yes I agree there are exceptions. It is hard knowing who to trust unfortunately but there is still good in the world and we need to keep believing in the good, so we do not give up and join the bad. Best wishes to you Muhammad from David in NZ

Thanks Scott. Un is becoming too common a prefix these days. It is unsustainable and untrustworthy. Have a great week Scott. best regards David in NZ
