Oddly Trusting

I find it funny,
How we trust people to keep all the bad stuff away.
We trust them to keep us from getting hurt,
Keep us from hurting ourselves,
But in the end,
Those people are the ones we should have feared,
They stabbed us, shot us, nearly killed us,
We gave them the power to hurt us,
We trusted them not to,
But of course they did it anyway.
