323- Beware of Gossip mongers
Information and Memories belong
To those who bear them.
Yet they hold no claim
To ownership of such.
Yet those who never experienced
But only heard the news
Claim absolute knowledge.
Their limitations becomes evident,
As they spread from pillar to post,
Diluted images of incomplete information.
Spiced up with individual takes,
Beguiled by impure motives,
They become unpaid employees
Of an inexistent news stations.
Gossips or gossipers as some call them,
With their green eyes betray truth
Busy-bodying in others people affairs
While their own rot like a corpse.
Needless I say more.
If you come across a gossip monger
Run for your dear life.
