Gossip Train Toot Toot

If you look for
ugly
You'll See it


If you stare
 too long 
You'll be it

When we
Speak without thinking
to tickle the ear

There is something
to ponder
So as to see clear


When we talk 
Just
to disrepute


A manslayer
We become
Killing a reputation
It is mean spirited fun

Just imagine should
The tables turn
And you be the one on the block


being happily sliced and
Diced about
  After throwing the  very first rock

Being righteous over much
doesn't aid
One righteous to be

Remember but for
The grace of God
goes walking you and me

now my old house
Ain't made of glass
But I'll try to keep this  in mind

When slinging,and flinging
around words that I
Choose the ones that are kind
