Gossip Kills Three

Gossip kills three:
the gossiper,
the listener,
the one talked about.
They may not be stout.
An idle tongue
wags harmfully
for all concerned.
Someone could cry, die,
because of a lie.
Gossip, rumors
may not be true.
What should one do?
Harsh words, lies and stares …
doesn’t ‘say’ one cares.
My family
here … heavenly
shouldn’t fight, war.
All God’s children
are equal, even
though gossip kills:
the gossiper,
the listener,
the one that slandered.
Spirit died … mattered:
gossip kills … see?

| You are exactly right in saying this. Great poem. It is a slightly different message than a poem i wrote called "Sticks and Stones" but it has the same heart. |
