no knowledge of source
to "distrust each other"
as a "defense against treason"
how sad and lonely 
a life that would be


to doubt against pain
all who choose to come your way
lonely life that be

Haiku Circle prompt: Roots

lonely life it be
if distrust our roots be based
no one could we trust

  1. Trust once broken takes twice as long to mend as it did to build in the first place. Would be nice if countries understood that too.

    1. Agreed. Countries, regions, societies, individuals, all seem to have a growing problem with trust... :-(

  2. WoW. You hit the nail on the head...perfect.
    There seems to be a growing aura of distrust that can be felt even in far away Maine.

    Thank you for your insights.
    Peace,
