Cruel Slander

Why must this world be so cruel,
when people think the media should rule?
Why is it that people pay attention
to the stories that ruin reputation?

Slander, slander, slander!
With money involved, that’s all they think about.
They make people gain more belief
and lose all doubt.

Is it from jealousy?
Is it from hate?
Look at all this commotion
it is soon to create!

Society is like a never-ending ordeal,
where secrets are soon revealed.
It is full of cruel slander
that will never repeal.
