Do people ever stop and think,..
when they open their mouth to speak,
that gossip can tear a heart apart,
and make the soul grow weak?
Vicious lies about a friend,
spoken behind their back,
could affect the very life they live,
all because of their attack.
Families could be torn apart,
ones that were solid like a rock,
lies could hurt the children,
cause the truth was never sought.
Kind words are slow to travel,
to bad that's not the case with lies,
like a fire caught up in a windstorm,
they could take forever to die.
How do you convince your lover,
or even a life long friend,
that the stories they've heard of you
no substance do they lend?
Many family's hopes and dreams
have come crashing to the ground,
on account of vicious gossip,
when the truth was never found.
So when you speak about someone else,
make sure you get it straight,
don't even say cutting words.
THE TRUTH SHOULD NEVER BE LATE!*
*Those of you that are this way know who you are,
YOU shouldn't judge someone
UNTIL YOU KNOW THEM
PERSONALLY!
