TRUST by Linsey Taylor
Trust
Is Trust reliance on someone’s word
Triggered by what appears to occur
Is it deep down instinct at first glance
or long time coming, not on chance ?
What is it, what does Trust really mean?
It’s not the same when you’re seventeen
When you’re young, friendships are sealed
Like none when you’re older, holding a shield
Is Trust faith rather that what you know?
Does Trust diminish as knowledge grows?
Do you Trust what scientists say
parallel universes, evolution?
or do you pray for absolution?
Do you Trust somewhere there’s a better place
Is it in other dimensions or outer space?
Do you Trust we’re here now on this earth?
Or is it instead techno rebirth-
As some physicists diagnose
we’re in 2 D, in the cosmos
It’s only light from there to here
in 3 dimensions we appear
and perceive we’re here on this rock
instead we’re in some far flat spot,
3 D on earth- only a scam
Instead it’s all a hologram
So many versions, a whole array
Do those cause Trust to go astray
in this ‘Age of Knowledge’ or so they say ?
Does Trust come easier
when you don’t over think ?
Does that make you more in sync
with traditional Trust -have faith, don’t ask why
you’ll have the answers in the sweet by and by
Is it still human nature or against the grain
to Trust, have faith that we’ll live again?
To Trust fellow travellers through this earth
in times of so much to disconcert?
Are we in a world where Trust is a weakness
Preyed upon by those rapacious and ruthless
Taken down like a Serengeti wildebeest
less able than others to stand on its feet ?
Is Trust in fact a two edged sword
One side can protect us, the other can gore
unless we know who, when, where, how to Trust
have instinct, fate, knowledge not to combust?
Was Trust imbedded in our genes
to bind families, communities, teams
in an early world to help us survive
improve all our lives, meeting our needs
Is Trust key for humanity to succeed?
If it is, who takes heed?
