Trustwortyness


Proverbs 26:22 

22 The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles,
And they go down into the inmost body.

 

Trustworthiness

 

Talebearers are an unusual breed and come in different complexions

To speak about what’s been said in secret ... should it not stay that way?

When folks who have great need unload their hearts intentions

about past’s weaknesses ... should one judge on who should pay?

 

Is life an appointed misery or build with block and mortar?

Is it not realistic to think that not all posses the same quality?

Could it be built with usury and should I be an inspector?

Should I become the missing link to understand this insanity?

 

Leave it alone my brother ... time and space will heal all wounds

Scars may be left behind from the storms of yesteryear

Why should you even bother ... why dig up dead man’s bones?

Leave the past and stuff behind and accept it with simple fear
