Doubt

Doubt
is
viral
will snake its
tentacles unseen,
can seed suspicion, challenge truth
corrupt veracity and disseminate fake news

doubt
is
also
wondering
was I right this time
if I trusted what would have changed
If I had said I trusted you would you then have stayed

doubt
is
taking
nothing on
trust but constantly
equivocating, a or b?
is it better to walk in the shade or in the sun

Is
life
itself
delusion
is sky truly blue
or is that an illusion too
the dilemma is that doubt looks like Catch-22

If
we
do not
question truth
if there is no doubt
we'd stay on the merry-go-round
spinning fast or slow but always the same direction
