Kept Word
The unbroken promise
builds a base for faith.
Mute is doubting Thomas.
Spent is hurtful scathe.
The fulfilled agreement
builds a future hope.
Mute is old malcontent.
Spent is former mope.
The kept word of honor
builds a lasting trust.
Mute is hopeless goner.
Spent is the unjust.
The realized covenant
builds a solid core.
Mute is pretentious stunt.
Spent is call for war.
