The news is bad and it hurts my pride <br /> I don't need advice I don't need a guide <br /> I am not ashamed there's nothing to hide <br /> Some way somehow the Lord will provide <br /> There's lots of gossip and lies been told <br /> I feel sorry for the sick and old <br /> Jealousy and envy brazen and hold <br /> Malicious gossip just shouldn't be told <br /> I feel the sting I feel the hate <br /> To spread this gossip some just can't wait <br /> I am not well known so I don't rate <br /> He who is faultless carries a clean slate <br /> I am a citizen been put to shame, <br /> I seek no fortune I don't need fame, <br /> I do no wrongs why smear my name <br /> Life is for real its no silly game.<br /><br />Herman Gabbard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/malicious-gossip/
