TRUTH
When truth is not thought out,
when truth is not seen with its
consequences, when truth is
seen as tissue
thin, when truth
is rose petal soft, when truth is
made of broken branches – then
it can be further snapped, further
unsapped, then it becomes even
more disconnected with what is
necessary for life together –
for commerce and communication -
then that person doesn’t care if
he or she lies or steals or doesn’t
keep commitments – or their word,
but if truth is made of metal –
steel or titanium – hammered out –
forged fired – then you’re dealing
with someone you can down deep trust.
