Another dumb poem analyzing life: Trust

Trust
five letters.
short, sweet,
simple.
but is it
really?
Meaning: "Confident expectation of something;
hope"
Hope,
good place to
start.
but like i've been told
before,
it doesn't matter where you
start.
it matters where you
                     finish.
Trust,
in society,
with people,
government,
is corrupted.
Society:
tells you to trust them.
with everything
from house
car
phone.
ecetera.
Can we?
maybe... or not. it all
depends. on what?
money.
Can't trust society
to keep your house
without
money.
or your car,
without money.
and trusting society
takes.....
money.
trust them to keep you safe?
not.without.money.

Trusting people:
*sigh* quite difficult
indeed.
cannot speak
one lonely word
without being questioned.

In the...olden days...
trust was given and used
never taken advantage of.
til now...of course
Trust tis now corrupt.
cannot reveal secrets
without the next day
the whole school knowing.
people do not trust,
and i do not blame them
because people
have missused it.
crushed it
for what.
        nothing.
pleasure or pain?
maybe.

Government.
not much to say.
not much
         knowledge
of it.
but yes, it can be
corrupt. secrets
in government,
thrown back in the
open. but yes,
lets carry on.

so far in life,
of this poem,
it seems you can trust...
nobody.
that is not true.
hard to find,
but so worth it are
the people who
actually care about
you.
They will keep your secrets
and be there for you
whenever you call.
These are the people
to trust.
who will not
put you down.
but bring you up.
Figure out early,
who they are.
and don't forget
because in life,
there are, suprisingly,
people
you
can
Trust.
