The Evil of Gossip
The Bible's book of James speaks of it
how the tongue is such an evil thing
one minute speaks good then next it's evil
such damage and harm it does bring
So many people get hurt by gossip
it has a malicious intent in it's force
changing a word or two in it's content
can put it on complete new course
Some people tend to make additions
adding their own particular slant
making it give complete new meaning
it's original thought lost now it can't
Any trust between two people is lost
how can one know real true trust?
when one gossips removes friendship
doubts enter trust flys away like dust
Keep a bridle on your tongue
no gossip for it's just to tell a lie
it never profits anyone at all
hold only truth make gossip die
