Poetic Verses

Gossip

There are people well known  will take no distress
To sit and happily discuss another person's business
Feeling big because  in gossiping they  use words very  belittling
About the  party, but in reality it themselves by their actions who  is disparaging.

And  in some  cases take information  even if it is a segment
 Can amend and append and  make an enlargement
But if they had an opportunity to get the  complete picture
Would then see the danger pose by that of conjecture

Gossip has the potential  to make an innocuous situation
Escalate into one that can  grow into a  very dangerous condition
Suppose someone informed to an abusive partner about his lover
This can  initiate some anger and put  the person in danger.

It can be used by some as a form of manipulation
As the holder may used  as leverage the piece of information
To get a favor knowing for secrecy the person  will comply
Because they believe  that it would be made public to deny.

This sort of behavior even has tentacles in the corporate  arena
Especially  among those whose actions demonstrate an insecure aura
So they will make sure something unflattering reach the right ears
Thus  limiting a rival chances when promotion nears.

Where there are people, one will find politics and gossip
But should they take a moment before such things strew from the lip
And think that if they had  had taken time to inculcate some positive thought
Perhaps  what a greater reward to them it would have brought.
