When Trust Is Gone
When trust is gone relationships
becomes dysfunctional
Society no longer has a
foundation on which to stand
Losing its backbone no longer
are our words our bond
Whereby society is left
standing on sinking sand
From one moment to the next
fact becomes a chameleon Decisions are swaying like waves on the ocean
Trust civilization’s building
blocks are becoming
Icebergs in the midday sun
When trust is gone distrust and
skepticism abounds
Integrity and character are
only to be found in museums
Society is constantly sowing
the seeds for its destruction
Where anarchy and chaos will
reign supreme
When in god we trust becomes
a rhetorical slogan
In reality we trust no one
not even our fellowman
Our annihilation is becoming
a forgone conclusion
Without trust civilization
will cease to function
When trust is gone all we are
left with is an illusion
A mirage in the distance
devoid of substance
Nothing concrete to hold onto
or to count on
Without trust all is lost
trust is society’s building block
When trust is gone even the
currency we count on
Cannot be counted upon
Without trust what left for
us to build on?
