the game is rigged

trust no one.

you learn that early in life.

there is no Santa,

no easter

bunny,

no leprechauns, 

no wishing well,

or falling

stars to cast your

fate upon.

there is no tooth

fairy.

trust no one.

not the priest,

the politician,

your friends, 

your colleagues 

your husband, 

your wife.

trust no one,

not the doctor,

or teacher, the lawyer,

the cop.

the accountant,

the butcher with his

thumb upon the scale.

the game is rigged,

trust no one.
