Trust

One should be wary
of trust--
Especially in the coin
of a government's word;
for, whether new silver
or old, politicians are
bought and sold, Self
their only god and 
country….


One can trust Science
but Science
can never give a hug
when needed;
or one can trust Love
for love may die
but never be defeated….
