The Cost of Trust

50 4 1
                                        

A vial of trust is all I broke 

Not a bone of the beggar 

A pinch of faith is all I crushed 

Not the pearl of a diver.


Just some drops of hope has gone

Down the drains of your shelter 

None as such as killing a man 

Born this hour to a mother.


So let your hands abandon pretense 

Of truth being pricier than hunger 

Welcomed by a starving man's address 

Waiting for nature's final wonder.
