Gossip
Now and then,
It goes agin,
The grain within my bein`,
How those `within`,
Can judge the sin,
Of lives they think less meanin`.
Before ye deign,
To judge again,
Ye`d best make one thing certain;
Make sure ye know,
Afore ye go,
It`s not yerself yer hurtin`.
For all ye say,
Comes home one day,
And every word ye`ll pay for.
Make sure ye know,
Afore the show,
That ye won`t mind an encore.
(Gossip, like most viruses, will sicken and can even kill it`s victims.
The best thing to do with the rotten little bug is to kill it the minute it raises it`s ugly little head.)
À HYPOCRITE WITH HIS MOUTH DESTROYETH HIS NEIGHBOR:
BUT THROUGH KNOWLEDGE SHALL THE JUST BE DELIVERED.
Proverbs 11:9
HE THAT IS VOID OF WISDOM DISPISES HIS NEIGHBOR:
BUT A MAN OF UNDERSTANDING HOLDETH HIS PEACE.
Proverbs 11:12
