Gossip
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Small affronts are given,

To show your disdain.

The quality of love is lost,

When to others we cause pain.

 

The absence of truth  belies

The rumors that are spread.

Validity is so necessary,

Before a word is said.

 

Nay, as oft is the case,

We believe what is being said.

Matters not if it  helps to destroy

A reputation, this is how gossip is spread.

Great thoughts very well expressed.
We do so well to keep gossip a foreign language we neither hear nor speak.
