Gossip

Lackluster, ball buster
Comment wielding maniac
Thrilling, killing with
Words so skillfully
Placed with poise and
Grace. Speak and destroy,
Whispers deployed, the very
Air a swarm of bloated flies,
Tangled webs, and spicy lies
Who lives? Who dies? Who cares?
Who cries? Deplorable, dependable,
Closet eater, woman beater,
Undercover, underground,
Underwater words that wrench
And rob.
No quarter given,
No dignity spared.
