Gossip

Back-stabbing whispers

haunt halls

and minds;

secrets told

and promises forgotten.

In just a second

it destroys reputations,

forms prejudices and stereotypes

all because

of one little whisper.

It poisons our blood

and messes with your head,

creates cages that we cannot

escape.

One little rumour,

a little gossip,

and our world is turned

upside down.
