Dusty Questions

easily we trust one another
with our heads in the clouds and hearts on sleeves
to question, is considered a bother
being called into question, leaves many peeved
why should we take everything at face value?
I trust only those I love
but even those can deceive you
that's a betrayal undreamed of
who's to say the person behind the screen
is who they claim?
this credence given, is not what it seems
don't be made asinine, don't be shamed
take back your truth
clear away the dust
lying is uncouth.

~ This started out light hearted when I first started writing it, but ended up being more serious. It was first inspired by the fact that I was playing an online game called World of Warcraft and I was on a male character and so I pretended to be a different person to mess around with someone. It was quite humorous and they didn't mind. But when thinking about it, I considered how serious these identity lies can be or just any lies... people just trust people, it's our human nature to want to trust everyone. What do you think?
