Trust But Verify
Trust--
There's none
anymore!
Not here, not now,
It's an old fable
long tucked away in books,
Oh, in sermons and scriptures,
Mythology and fairytales;
A treasure rare and precious as gems--
A figment of our imagination!
Trust but thyself and to thyself be true,
Yet indulge not in thine own conceit,
Mistrust no man without just cause
nor credulous without proof,
Stay not far from reason
nor close to folly…
Trust’s hard to find,
But when found
Let not
go!
