You never learn
There is no chance of feeling good about it.How can you trust anyone
when even your own family betrays you?
– When you are deceived forever and again
whenever you have shared your trust
and only find that it was wasted and abused
with your sincerest love on only human failures
lacking character and honesty and decency
and only good for using you to their own ends?
And yet you start again from the beginning
building up your enterprises and relationships anew
and trusting that this time they would be left in peace,
until the shattering disaster of a sabotage
leaves you in shambles, shipwrecked and dishonored once again.
You might as well accept your constant state of ruin then
as your home stay of permanence
and stick to that position as your only safe one
in the gutter of your only true reliable stability.
