Trust

Trust Our world is changing at an alarming rate It seems people have such fear and hate Where some believe are victims of fate And selfishness only leads to separate When others seemingly choose to do harm Meeting strangers set off an internal alarm Fear and distrust, some feel it’s time to arm Because of past lies, fearing the false charm Betrayed by your government, those you stood behind Be riddled by a system, that’s treating you so unkind BeIng seduced by the lies, constantly betraying all kind Being sold by all the wealthy, manipulating all mankind Trust once betrayed, hurt may never recover Trust is earned, sometimes too late to discover Trust is the cornerstone, in the heart of your lover Trust, such a gift to give, for the truest to uncover Trust only those who are truly worthy of your trust Trust is a gift, given only to those who gain your trust Trust your heart to show whom you can truly trust Trust only in those few who have earned your trust
