Gossip
Hello, my name is Gossip.
I am nobody's friend.
I pick and choose the people I feed.
Once I tarnish a reputation, it's never the same.
I make innocent people cry in their pillows.
My victims are helpless.
I flourish at every level of society.
To track me down is impossible.
The harder you try, the more elusive I become.
No one can protect themselves against me.
I can disguise my face.
The more I am quoted the more I am believed.
I topple government.
I wreck marriages.
I maim without killing.
I break hearts. I ruin lives.
I am cunning and malicious.
I gather strength with age.
I have no respect for justice.
My name is Gossip.
