Trust and Distrust

a poem by Devi Nangrani

How can trust and distrust
Ever survive in harmony?
How can they both survive?
Taking shelter under one roof?
They are rivals.
They work in opposite directions.
The sureness of collision
Is always awaited.
The peace of mind is destroyed.
The rhythm of life of unbalanced.
The true meaning of life
Seems to be meaningless.
For distrust cannot be trusted
To make life meaningful,
Which is the balance of life,
Which is the rhythm of life,
Which is the music of life.
