Rumours
Screaming rumours frightened the wings
out of pregnant vultures — and the city hall
shook with their sudden flightlessness.
Who could have done this —?
Projecting such banner of hate!
Rumours are spread with red dancing tongues —
embers where loose talks are brewed, and
with the intention of relegating the village to
the back of the jungle league.

Autumn Rumours
Afternoon ember flare coddles forest
Nodule noses, from dark bark eyes sap drips
Naked soldiers, Summer’s subside promised
Farewell foliage, spun fairy floss gossip
News spew swept

Rumours
She is as pure as Heaven and as cruel as Hell,
She is an angelic devil and always ready to cast a spell.
She's a Thunder yet calm as a lake,
She's authentic but at the same time, she's Fake,
RUMOURS say that her life is a bed of roses,
But she's dangerous and has deadly poses!
Her beauty and charm

Rumours
People tell rumours
Because they have bad motives
They're jealous
They snatch from others
They're greedy
They're overbearing
They're mischievous
But I tell only because I'm careless
I'm simple, straight forward
I believe my senses
I believe what I see
And so people pretend to be friendly
I believe what I listen
And so people say sweet words
I tell my feelings
And so people

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

Confusion
It takes life long
To study the world
Or its people
Because it's complex
Always in a state of confusion and chaos
Anything can happen
Rumours can be turned into truths
Truths can be turned into fallacies
So
Look before you leap
Think thrice before you act
Consequences and dangers can spoil and kill
Truths are hard to reveal sometimes
For a poor man
No time, energy

I have a bone to pick with you.
I heard you spread rumours about me.
Said, I am courageous,
And have endurance.
Am very smart,
Have a good heart.
You like

Please Don'T Let Me Down
Once upon a time my heart murmured
I wouldn't listen to gossips
I wouldn't listen to fallacies
I wouldn't listen to rumours
And you please don't let me down
However
I'll lend a listening ear to
Only the truth and justice
Amongst the honest people
At any corner of the world
I'll cock my ears to listen to
Only the truth and justice
That's embedded

Turn a Deaf Ear
Turn a deaf ear to rumours
Turn a stonely heart to fallacies
Turn a blind eye to briberies
And life will be as happy as
A fish swimming in a clear pool
With soft sunlight
And some shady sea weeds

Rumours
Spread like the colour of grey
From black to white
From white to black
In a different tone
In an ambiguous form
To blur the eyes
To look at the world at a different angle
To interfere mankind's dignity
To question and fight against the truths
To believe whatever fallacies
Regardless of logics and truths

The Witness
God is the only witness
Who is so loyal to truths
He lives in our prayers
He lives in our hearts
And he lives in our difficulties
So almighty that
At any circumstances, anytime and anywhere

Fears
Fears follow me
Days and nights
Like the shadows
That cast on my way
Blur my directions
Fears follow me
The whole day long
Like the mud
That stuck onto my shoes
And cannot be kicked off
Fears follow me
Todays and tomorrows
Like the rumours
That spread near and far
Overlook my dignity
Fears follow me
For decades
Like a shield
That blocks the glory
Of the universe
But fears leave

So She Said That He Said They Said That We Said That She Said
So she said that he said they said that we said that she said….
Whenever you hear this, run for your life.
Run hard and fast.
Stay around and your own words will be used against you.
So she said that he said they said that we said that she said….
Get out of there hard and fast.
Do not stay

Dotwin's Exclusive Charms Are Her Own
Eve’s serpent is no competitor for Dotwin.
Dotwin betrays your trust faster than she can learn your hair color.
A trickster, she glories in people’s misery.
“Oh, sorry,” she says. “I did not know that was a secret.”
Spreading bad news faster than the Internet,
She sneaks around at work, listening to private conversations
That are now never private. Making
