The gift of trust
is a gift divine
your trust is precious
and so is mine
if I gave my word
what more do I have to give?
doing my damnedest to have
integrity, this is how I live
What are we, if our word
doesn't mean anything?
What kind of honor does
lies and insincerity bring?
Drama not befitting to any Nubian
queen or king
It lessens us to mere playwrights
and performers in a play
Writing scripts of deceit, orating words
with no meaning behind what we say
And let's not forget, the audience. Glued to
their chairs, clinging upon every word.
Parked in the front row, or in nose bleed seats
gasping at the drama that they've heard
You even have that heckler, whose joy in life is to try
and make a tragedy comical, no matter how absurd
Life is not a d a m n e d three penny opera
or some modern day Nickelodeon awaiting critique
I am awaiting the truth behind the words
Yes, this is what I seek
for I stand behind the words that I speak
If a person's word is not their bond
can you trust anything that they say?
Isn't trust a must in any relationship? I don't claim to have
all the answers, so I'm asking some damned questions, okay?
What is trust?
Is a person's word their bond?
If you can't trust a person's word, should we say they are just...
playas, or simply just played out? Or just so scared of life and love
that they'd rather believe a lie than honest words that were spoken?
Choosing to believe some fictitious fairy tale
and render their own nontrusting heart broken?
It seems I have more than a few questions about trust poets of destee
yes, trust and integrity
So, please feel free
to flow along with me...
