Teach Them To Trust

Thoughts travel tenaciously through tunnels 
Taking torpedoing trains to transcend time
Tempting tongues to talk to tittle tale
Twisting the truths in tones that tire

Telling trifling tit-bits that titillate
Transgressing tolerance that threatens
the tranquility that tension transports
Transforming trust transposing trepidation

These thoughts translate to treachery
Trespassing temperance taxing temerity
Terminate these turbulent trivial tributes
these trademarks they traffic tragedy 

Teach themes that target the truth
Tutor those to try train them to tolerate 
Treatise the triumphs that transpire
Transcript the treatment therapeutically
