End Gossip You Start Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You talk about sins.
Who does it and how it all begins.
But you...
Can't end gossip you start.

You talk about lovers of others.
Brothers, fathers, sisters and their mothers.
But you...
Can't end gossip you start.

In your own backyard you keep much trash.
That your neighbors see everyday when they pass.
But you...
Can't end gossip you start.

A kept evil feeds on evil to feed.
With a feeding of an evil fed that never leaves.
Yet you...
Can't end gossip you start.

A kept evil feeds on evil to feed.
With a feeding of an evil fed that never leaves.
Yet you...
Can't end gossip you start.

You talk about sins.
You talk about others.
You talk about the bruthas, fathers, sisters and their muthers.
But you...
Can't end gossip you start.

A kept evil feeds on evil to feed.
With a feeding of an evil fed that never leaves.
Yet you...
Can't end gossip you start.
No, you can't...
End that,
Gossip you must start!
