Trust

It is a two edged sword-

If kept one feels great

And vindicated despite

The mockery of the non-believers

If broken one feels

A feeling of let-down

A feeling of bad judgement

A feeling of faith lost

A feeling of failure

As the trusted one could have

Risen up to keep the faith reposed

Though being against its nature!

That would have been a great achievement

To turn another around for the better

By virtue of believing firmly

In the innate human goodness

In any case

History illustrates

All beings great or small

Have been betrayed

But forgiveness

And time healed

Such wounds!
