Lack of Trust

Where has it gone this thing we call trust?
It seems to have vanished like dust in storm
When trust is broken it's hard to get back
When people break promises or go back on their word
 The bond of trust is broken and it's tough to get back
 It's a shame that  people with honest ways 
Get treated like dregs when things go astray

Though their hearts are large and their words are true
Those words are silenced when the lack of trust come shining through
Give those of us with good words another chance
To bring back trust to a dishonest land

Hi Doug. Thank you for commenting on my poem. As for your question I wish I had the answer. It seems the truth has become even less popular over the last 10 years. But I will try to answer your question. In order for the truth to be sustained One must put aside personal ambition. It is only when we put aside our personal ambitions that we can stick to the truth no matter what.
