Don’t trust these people
Who promise to be trustworthy
If they are not disappointed
In themselves
When they fall short

Don’t trust these people
Who pretend to be
Just like you
When they hold you down
To elevate themselves

Don’t trust these people
Who treat others with cruelty
Or disregard suffering
They will never take responsibility
For the consequences
Of their actions or omissions

Don't trust these people
Who rely on appearances
Instead of humanity
They burn too brightly
Stealing air
From those around them

Find the people who spread
Tolerance and compassion
The people who
Look for solutions
When they see problems
Who do the right thing
Even when it is hard or unpopular

Find the people who
Make the world a better place
A funnier, happier, or easier place
Trust these people
Who catch light and
Reflect positive energy back out
Into the universe around them
