Trust

As I was exiting the city limits
With my Tim Horton coffee and box of Timbits
A young couple were hitching their way
"Hop right in" I heard myself say
With smile they thanked me for the ride
Then a gun was pushed into my side
"If you wish this day to stay alive
Then put this car in gear and drive"
Those shocking words that I did hear
That squeezed my chest and throat with fear
With trembling hands I drove away
What else could I do or say
"We need your car and all your money
Don't even think to try something funny
For this I tell you without lie
One wrong move and you will die"
I did exactly as I was instructed
While in my mind a plan constructed
But before a solution could come to mind
His voice instructed me from behind
"The next road on the right you'll take"
It took us to a secluded lake
"Now get out slowly, Its here you'll stay"
I thought that they would just drive away
But the look in their eyes said it wasn't so
The lump in my throat began to grow
They turned and shot me through the heart
Then from this nightmare I awoke with a start
Still trembling and quite soaked in fear
Just a dream but it was so very clear
I showered quickly and paid my room
Throughout it all this dream did loom
And as I was exiting the city limits
With my Tim Horton coffee and box of Timbits
A young couple were hitching their way
"Hop right in" I heard myself say
This might surprise you, you think me mad
Especially after the nightmare I had
But in this world it is a must
To help each-other and offer trust
If you lose all trust and live in fear
And forgo compassion, let no one near
Your life is worthless, your soul quite dead
Look for the good is the direction I head
