Gossip

A dreaded word in any language spoken Like wildfire, spreads in dry hay From the fangs of a snake, it is poison From vultures of hate, it is their token Of all the thing they have to say They could care less what it does to a person It is the enemy of the truth world wide It moves swift, it is so fast And evil lips cannot wait to tell The story that has only one side It is like a spell that has been cast To turn one life into a living Hell Words of a half truth if even that A juicy story that will cut to the bone Most of the time, facts there are not any Just thing to make you look like a rat As long as they can, will never leave you alone Just built on lies that are many Words never proven, just spread For enjoyment of a few Most of anger and hate, passed on evil lip Before the truth can get out of bed Of the terrible things that it will do No friend of the truth is gossip

Here it is Sunday and the begining of a new week is upon us. And August is leaving us way to soon. I am enjoying reading such excellent poems today and am happy to see your poetry among them Danny. May your pen forever flow. Love, Carol

Well worded truth. If we could all just guard our tongue the world would be a better place. Sara
