When Dumb Folk Hear Rumours

Dumb people hear rumours and go all out attack Clever folk hear them and want extra facts The Dumb come at you firing accusations The Clever come at you asking questions So quick to jump to a full gone conclusion when only one outcome is there for the choosing When you hear gossip you allow its digestion It gives you the knowledge and you’re now interesting Getting involved to be apart of the drama who cares about those you are causing trauma just for this moment you can chitter chatter feeling most flattered that you finally matter Dumb people hear rumours and want to believe them the version of you their desperately needing a story of failure so far from succeeding it tells you that they live with bitterness breeding Maybe they’re no one and never get notice and it leaves them feeling forever hopeless this is their victory your failure their focus their still bloody nobody living life hopeless
