Lies & Rumors

Choose not to believe
The lies and deceit
That deviants spread
And can't be unsaid
A demon of deception
Seduces their reception
With slanderous myths
Of various trysts
They add to the absurd
From what they've heard
Destroying minds
Of an innocent kind

Exaggeration can kill
Can a liar feel?
Is their conscious clear
When a victim is near
An edge of a gully
Because of a bully
So don't be naive
With what you believe
Look at the source
And don't be forced
Into the game
Of slandering a name
For the sake of fun
Or disliking someone

It's a lot easier
To make somebody bleed
By planting a seed
Into empty shells
Who don't think for themselves
These people speaking
Are just seeking
Praise and attention
With no life to mention

Lies and rumour
A growing tumour
Within our society
Aiming for notoriety
It's not clever
It's no great endeavour
Help people, be kind
Easing the mind
Keep silent on the lies
Think with the wise.
