You cannot trust a tree, because the tree, it cannot speak
A roof made by its wood, is bound to spring a leak
You cannot trust a tree, because the tree, it cannot think
A boat made by its wood, is eventually going to sink

You cannot trust a beast, because it’s nature isn’t tame
For the company of a beast, will only end in pain
You cannot trust a beast, because it can’t perceive
Having the company of a beast, what will you achieve?

You cannot trust machines, for machines are not alive
As machines do not have minds, therefore they cannot thrive
You cannot trust machines, for machines you can’t control
As machines don’t have ideas, therefore they have no soul

You cannot trust a man, even if he’s old and wise
For even the wary man, can ensnare you in his lies
You cannot trust a man, even if he’s honest and true
For even the decent man, will put himself before you

You can only trust yourself, because your mind is bold and free
You are not insincere like other men, or fragile like a tree
You can only trust yourself, you are gentle unlike a beast
And unlike machines you are alive, and that’s to say the least
