Gossip, Rumors And Slander Poem by Randy McClave

Gossip dies
When it hits the ears of the wise,
When it comes to a deaf man's door
That gossip is no more.

Rumors are started by haters
They are carried on by fools and debaters,
When they are combatted by truths and not fists
Rumors, then no longer exists.

Slander is started by the weak
When revenge and hate they do actively seek,
The gullible and the foolish is easily deceived
Slander by idiots is then believed.

A wise man once said
The truest man is the one who is dead,
When gossip or rumors or slander come upon his ear
Upon it, he does not ever adhere.
