Betrayal

I thought you angels, you were men,

Possessed by faults that men possess,

Like me. Same problems, same regrets

I longed for more but there was less

Trust not in humans says the Lord

Unless that's all you can afford.

*

They all meant well, they really tried,

They gave so much, they couldn't more,

They were upholding their right,

Nay,,, obligation, duty, law

But.. self-delusion drove them forth

In righteous anger, zeal and froth

*

Integrity is hard to find,

Few are the men who know themselves,

Rule their hearts, bind their mind,

And gaze beyond their narrow cell.

If you encounter such a man,

Give'm all the Honor that you can.
