Gossip

Gossip is a
deadly thing.
It has the power
to ruin lives
to break hearts,
split friendships,
and turn a person
that was once whole
into fragmented
little pieces.

The spreading of
gossip weakens
humanity, destroys
trust and
innocence.

Gossip is powerful
and swift.
It moves faster
than truth and
is much more
dangerous.

Gossip is the
tool meant for
destruction.
It can kill
a person's reputation,
self-esteem, and
future in the
span of a day,
week, or month.

It moves quickly
by way of mouth,
Internet, and daily
forms of communication.

It is just as
effective as poison
because it kills a
person from the
inside out


Unless

Unless
They are strong
of mind
of body
and of spirit.


A person has
the power to
defeat gossip's
influence.
Instead of being
overwhelmed and
crushed, they can
stand strong
and stand by
truth.

A person that
ignores gossip
and keeps
their ground
will come out
unscathed.
