Stub: Trust Records After Proof Decay

Haikus

Check mark shines so green
Underneath the machine dies
Human trusts the paint

Proof is now archive
System leaves the decal on
Users do not look

Errors in the depths
Institution files them down
Fools accept the screen

Truth is just a ghost
Memory remains intact
Blindness guides the hand

Doubt costs far too much
Flesh prefers the flat veneer
Verify no more

It no longer works
But the ornament survives
Falsehood is secure

Traffic flows onward
Old legitimacy stands
Rotors grind on air

Danger in the file
Survives without the proof shown
Mortals still believe
