Gossip's Remedy

Gossip is a nasty thing
spoken words not necessary true
it can cause real hurt
which sometimes turned the air blue

Anyone can fall under it's trap
if they are not careful
the remedy is honesty and truth
following them is the best rule

This rule is so hard to do
cause we all have a pull
not left or right as we think
but sinful making us a fool

So make sure you don't listen
to any gossip at all
it does you absolutely no good
better to walk straight and tall

Also don't start any yourself
only speak truth absolute
then you'll have moral integrity
sprouting from your tree of fruit
