My Name Is Gossip.


My name is Gossip.
I have no respect for justice.
I hurt without killing. 
I break hearts and ruin lives.
I am cunning, malicious, spiteful, vicious, malignant and callous.
I 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. 
I have no name and no face.
To track me down, it's the song - impossible. 
The harder you try, the more elusive I become.
I am nobody's friend.

I am not your friend either.
Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same.
I topple governments and wreck marriages. 
I ruin careers and cause sleepless night, heartaches and indigestion.
I spawn suspicion and generate grief. I make innocent people cry in their pillows.
Even my name hisses.
I am called GOSSIP. 
Office gossip''Shop gossip''Party gossip''Telephone gossip"Internet gossip''Home gossip
I make headlines and headaches. 
so REMEMBER, before you tell a story, 
ask yourself: is it true? is it fair?? is it right?? is it necessary?
If not, KEEP QUIET.
Stay Calm.
