Gossip

Gossip what a waste of my time.

Let's talk about you.

I don't want to know about your neighbours life

I want to know about you

Please don't tell me what your neighbour did

I'm only interested in you

Please don't tell me what your neighbour eats

I want to know what you eat too

Gossip is like Cancer, it spreads and is destructive

Don't you want to live your life,
In a way that is constructive?

I shy away from Gossip as much as I can

For if I have nothing good to say about another

Then my life is truly damned

How sad to live a pathetic life through the life of another

I would rather live a life of a hermit,than live your life of pretence

Where my only consolation
Is what my neighbour regrets

So go away and leave me alone, because I will not give my ears to you

Until you realise and understand that without Gossip you can live too

I've heard it said that great minds talk about ideas. Average minds talk about events. Small minds talk about people.

Great poem with a great message, Pixie! wine

against gossip, i choose silence. Gossip make tam tam on my head and i shy away as much as i can... All you write is true and it's also true that you are a poet.
have a nice day

Gossip is like a forest fire, kindled by a spark that grows until it rages out of control.

yeah, why all the interest in other peoples' affaires?
i guess people just don't want to deal with their own lives.

True TP, yet we cannot judge.

Thanks Paloma and serpiciwave


True Cj we mustn't judge but by listening to gossip we can become judgemental by condoning the gossip?
