A HANDSHAKE AND YOUR WORD
Does it still exist, is it real, remember a time when,
From so long ago when you learned to trust a man.
A handshake and your word was good enough for the day,
Times changed and a lot of that got lost with a changing world.
We became less of neighbors, keeping to ourselves, doors locked,
Now it seems that a handshake comes after a signed piece of paper.
Has its meaning become less, a firm handshake back in time was the best,
And your word, what is the worth of your word as you promise away.
We trust less now just as it must be fore if we trust we may get burned,
Make sure there is a witness to a handshake and your word, be weary.

This holds a great deal of truth, and while I wholeheartedly agree with it, it brings me a sense of honour that I still abide by this form of trust and exchange. A man is only as good as his word.
Thanks for reading, I think of all the lies and back stabbing through work and this system.

It’s an untrustworthy world we live in. Loyalty is disposal these days. Despicable.
Thanks so much
