Whispers in the wind, Gossip travels far and wide A spark that ignites Infecting thoughts with lies.
Rumors, like a virus, Can spread with lightning speed Infecting hearts and minds With words that others feed.
They twist and turn the truth And create a web of deceit A trap that ensnares And captures all it meets.
They can ruin reputations And break the strongest bonds Destroying all that's good With their poisonous tongues.
But we have a choice To believe or to dismiss To listen with a discerning ear Or to let the rumors persist.
For in the end, it's up to us To choose what we believe And not let the rumors rule our lives But instead, rise above and achieve.
So let us be the ones To stop the rumors in their tracks And live a life that's honest, true, And free from their toxic attacks.
