Beware of Wolves

There must be trust.
There must be trust.
‘Cause when he led me out
He’d asked, “Trust me?”
And I followed.
So there must be
just enough
(for rough hands and
young flesh
to meet in
Elmo underwear).

There must be trust.
There must be trust—
Stupid, blind, unassuming trust.
‘Cause Little Red undressed
before the wolf
Ate her whole
(And I did too).
I did too.

Hey Yatta!

Um...your pace is nice, your spelling and grammar perfect. :D

elmo underwear
~ Elmo's a...thing? Don't really know what he is, but he's alive, and a distinct being, so his name is capitalized.

Also, you missed the capitalization on the line 'Before the wolf'.

Keep writing,

You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
