Who's To Trust Poem by Akara K.

If you happen to visit a quiet little town
And you walk down a short dusty street
If you ever pass a certain house
There's someone I'd like you to meet
Her shoulders sag as she stares at the ground
Her face is as pale as snow
Her smile is broken, her eyes are sad
And there's something that she'd like to know
'Can I trust you? '

If you ever come to an old dead village
Where only a few people live
They'd love to welcome you to their home
But they have nothing to give
Everything seems forgotten here
Nothing green will grow
And if you talk to a villager
There's something they'd like to know
'Can I trust you? '

If perhaps you end up in a dark alleyway
Where spiders and other bugs crawl
Look all the way back into the darkness
And there, sitting against the wall
Is someone with a question in mind
He'd like to ask you before you go
If you have the heart to comfort him
There's something that he'd like to know
'Can I trust you? '

In this world that is abused and torn
That seems to spin slower each day
Many people want to ask this question
Before you walk away
No one seems to be kind enough
To care for the downtrodden and weak
But if you would just stop and ask you'd know
That love is all that they seek

Everyone's equal in God's eyes
Some people know this is true
If you would just stop and think for a while
You could see things in His point of view
'You can trust me.'
