Trusted Voices

Why do you think they call

them Anchors? Because they’re

supposed to be the face of truth,

your surrogate parents that tell you

everything’s going to be OK.

The priest that does the unspeakable…

politicians skilled at lying…maybe

your boss, only interested in money….

What voices do you trust, and why?

Do you trust the media?

Do you trust a credo or philosophy?

Do you only think of the truth

when you’re cornered?

Do you trust yourself, and, what does 

that mean? Not the voices in your head

that make you buy a sandwich or think

going to the moon is a good idea, no,

that part  of you that tells you what fork

in the road to take that you know is true,

despite the resistance.

What do we believe in?

It would be good if we could 

start with ourselves.
