Trust Versed In Verity Poem by John Sensele

Trust abused, trust misused
Churns stomachs and disgusts
When trust is accused
In setting where mistrust encrusts.

Trust earned, trust nurtured
Lives long, strengthens social links
When trust is cultivated and cultured
No matter what a saint or a sinner thinks.

Trust grown, trust flown
On wings of sincerity and sensitivity
Grows, grows and grows to own
Greater spaces for bonds that grow in sensibility and dignity.

Trust burst, trust cursed
Tears asunder threads of relationships
Built on thoughts, plans and actions versed
In openness, oneness and overt operations beyond discipleships.
