We live in a world where <br />There’s so little to believe in <br />And everyday <br />Less and less… <br />So little true, so little steadfast <br />Even less trustworthy <br />And faith is broken <br />Confidence shattered <br />Who knows what to trust; <br />The True and the False? <br /> <br />We live in a world where <br />You mustn’t trust anyone <br />Least of all yourself <br />You mustn’t trust anything <br />And trust no adage, no maxim, save this- <br />“Trust nothing.” <br />For Trust could get you killed <br />And Suspicion could save you <br />The Cynic survives, the promisekeeper dies <br />Yet, at the peril of being called a Fool- <br />I still believe. <br /> <br />Will I not believe, <br />And hazard Apathy? <br />Or will I believe and risk Disillusionment? <br />Things are rarely what they seem; <br />What, if anything, have you put your trust in? <br />Be careful, or be let down <br />Be watchful, or fall <br />Or you could choose <br />To believe nothing at all…. <br />But as for me- <br /> <br />I still believe. <br />I believe in Truth <br />I believe in God <br />I believe in Love <br />I believe in Friendship <br />I believe in Right. <br /> <br />I may be a fool, <br />But… <br />I still believe.<br /><br />TMA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-still-believe-8/
