Gossip

Secrets shared

From misheard statements

Creating false beliefs

That spread

Like an illness

Crushing ecosystems

And organisms

Standing in its path

Hoping to create a barrier

To save society

But the illness grows

Overcomes

And swallows it whole.

  1. But the illness grows, overcomes, swallowing it whole. Wow, good analogy Tamara, and also very true. Very good writing !! Love Aunt Sandy

  2. its an illness alright! one I get pulled into each day I work…that I have to struggle to ignore, walk away from, yet I find myself joining in at some point, sick with regret later on…..nicely done!
