Releasing Rumour Mongers

Lies from directions I had not expected 
Offered in a variety of ways 
Apologetically 

Pretending to be concerned 
I sent them away 
Recognizing their imperfections 

Seeing them more clearly now 
Rumour Mongers 
Thriving on gossip 

Fabricated by clouded minds
Trouble makers 
No longer friends of any kind

The Rumour Mongers' only friend...is Gossip, especially so when it serves their interest...

It is so difficult to be around these folks, especially when you try hard to steer them away from gossip, and it is all they know and want.

Certainly they do not make for any kind of friend.

No they do not, but when they are relatives it is more difficult to banish them.
