Rumors

We don’t dare
To mention it
Or to others, it purvey

We do not try
To clarify
And thus, our fears allay

Which leaves us with
Unproven myth
That just, gets in our way 

We should not bide
In our pride
But ask, what’s gone astray

With friends our ties
We improvise
And some, just go their way

But, with family share
And our souls bare
So need not, from them stray
