Commitments

Commitments seem to becoming a thing of the past Once upon a time, you could rely on a person's word Now that seems to be disappearing fast How many times have you heard from your politicians, let me commit to you This is a promise you expect them to keep before reality takes over and they don't follow through A promise, a pledge is something I take seriously, that is what it means to me Some people's words mean absolutely nothing, leaving you up a tree How about the partner that seems fully committed to you Next thing you know they have found someone else, and once again commitment has fallen through If you can not be a person of your word, then what do you stand for Think of it, if everyone stopped fulfilling their commitments all at once, chaos would prevail like never before Our world would become a better place overnight if we would all just stick to our words Following through on what you say, would that be too absurd
