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.
I really like the gossip/illness analogy. I’ve never actually heard that comparison before.
awesome write
But the illness grows, overcomes, swallowing it whole. Wow, good analogy Tamara, and also very true. Very good writing !! Love Aunt Sandy
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!
