A cruel story runs on wheels, and every hand oils the wheels as they run. ~Ouida…
How often we watch gossip destroy lives, imaginations being woven with fiction to completely soil a reputation… How often we ponder, “Is that the truth or just a story?” Perhaps never.
Their gossip is a debauched addiction
Aided by an imagination, so absurd
The borders amid actuality and fiction
Whizzes away, swift as an agile bird
They are uncaring for inflictions caused
Or for the aftermath of tears and turmoil
For crowds have now, suddenly paused
Their dull life has now excitement to boil
No regret for the chaos of the life they eye
For they earnestly believe their allegory
And hence their theories shall never die
The belief of all, a much desired victory
But then they forget the god who surely exists
No matter what the atheists preach every day
Shy perhaps then, might be their soul’s gist
When sprite justice decides to visit their way.
