Trivial Trinket of Trust
August 28, 2021
Trivial trinket of trust
We value you so
Carrying you in our pockets, to and fro
We dangle you from chains, show how much we gain
Yet all you are is a knickknack
And usually a fake one at that
All you are is a show
The allure of you flies around our heads like a little gnat
People sell the trinkets, claim how true they are
People lie about everything including the truth cases, and their lies take them very far
Trivial trinket of trust
Why do we value you so
Trivial trinket of trust
We may never know

This is a poem I wrote, for me personally, it has a fairly clear meaning but it is definitely up for interpretation. It was inspired by a haiku I wrote and this is the poem.
Enjoy :)
