(Childhood poems) Trust nobody who will not greet your parent
Trust nobody who
will not greet your parent
Be wary of them
when they throw the bones
Of the accolades you
know you don't deserve
That man who sacrifices
to take you home after
School is twice your age
he means you no good
That woman who offers to pay
your way through university
When you know you're not
dirt poor is after your flesh
Leave not your trust in the
fateful voice of the caller
Who congratulates you when you
can't recall when last anyone
In their minds ever stood up
to fill in for time and congratulate
You for doing anything
You're aware that you were born
to be less lucky to hit the limelight
Stay safe and pure in your world
You're less troublesome in your loneliness
Do not begrudge the notorious
what they have gained their infamy for
Entrust your trust to that one trusted
person you can trust called your trusty self
