Life has taught a lesson clear,
Loyalty can't be controlled, my dear.
No matter the good you give away,
It doesn't ensure they'll treat you that way.
Those who mean the world to you,
May not value what you do.
Love's reflection often distorts,
In hearts where trust falls short.
Sometimes those we cherish most,
Are the ones who hurt us close.
Promises break, trust decays,
In the shadows of love's maze.
Hold your heart, but guard it well,
For in love's realm, it's hard to tell.
Those you trust may let you down,
Yet in your strength, you won't drown.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
