Killing With Words
My Name Is Gossip. I have no respect for justice. I maim without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives I am cunning and malicious & gather strength with age.
The more I am quoted the more I am believed. I flourish at every level of society.
My victims are helpless. They cannot protect themselves against me because I have no name and no face.
To track me down is impossible The harder you try, the more elusive I become.
I am nobody's friend.
Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same.
I topple governments and ruin marriages. I end ministries set up by God.
I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartache and indigestion. I spawn suspicion and generate grief.
I make innocent people cry in their pillows. Even my name hisses.
I AM CALLED GOSSIP.
Church gossip Office gossip Shop gossip Party gossip Online gossip Telephone gossip
I make headlines & headaches!
Before You Repeat A Story, Ask Yourself . . .
IS IT TRUE? IS IT FAIR? IS IT NECESSARY? WOULD I WANT IT DONE TO ME?
