Rumors Or Gossip

I don't like rumors or gossip I wish people would just stop it Trying to hurt someone's feelings and reputation Seemingly is their main fixation. They like to pass on stories that they hear A persons name they want to smear They don't like that person at all So, they want them to suffer and fall. Of course it could be someone they are jealous of So, into turmoil they want to kick and shove They want no one to hear the other side of the story So, sinfully the reputation of the other they want to destroy. They do not ever seek out the truth They haven't known it since their youth, And they feel more powerful when they tell those lies The Devil and his demons becomes their allies. I wonder how a person who spreads rumors and gossip sleep When their rumors and gossip causes someone to weep, The pain they cause they cannot ever sever They'll carry the evil that they had done and spoken forever. I say, I would rather have a tumor Than inside of me to have gossip and/or a rumor The three causes of suffering and they will not leave And they destroy the body and soul and causes others to grieve. The rumors and the gossip that they will spread Will remain with them long after they are dead, Then when God looks at them on their judgement day The Lord God will then speak, "What did you say! ".
