A Woman's Pastime

My Name is Gossip

I have no respect for justice.

I maim without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives.

I am cunning, malicious and 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 because I have no name and
no face.

To track me down is impossible. The harder you try, the more elusive
I become.

I am nobody's friend.

Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never that same.

I topple governments and wreck marriages.

I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartaches and
indigestion.

I spawn suspicion and generate grief.

I make headlines and headaches.

Remember, before you repeat a story, ask yourself:

Is it true? Is it fair? Is it necessary??

If not, do not repeat it,

KEEP QUIET!
