The pillars of trust
Lies, words, truth —
three pillars of trust.
One used at the wrong time
can make the whole thing tremble.
So we invent a fourth pillar:
impeachment.
Not for law,
but for a heart
that trusted you with the structure.
But a building can’t stand on two pillars.
It only shakes —
harming the one who broke it
and the one still trying to hold it up.
