My Name Is Gossip. I have no respect for
justice. I maim without killing. I break
hearts and ruin lives. I am cunning and
malicious and gather strength with age.
The more I am quoted the more I am
believed. I flourish at every level of
society. My victims are helpless. They
cannot protect themselves against me
because I have no name and no face.
To track me down is impossible. The
harder you try, the more elusive I
become.
I am nobody's friend.
Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never
the same. I topple governments and ruin
marriages. I ruin careers and cause
sleepless nights, heartache and
indigestion. I spawn suspicion and
generate grief.
I make innocent people cry in their
pillows. Even my name hisses.
I AM CALLED GOSSIP.
Office gossip.
Shop gossip.
Party gossip.
Telephone gossip.
Online
gossip.
I make headlines and headaches. Before you repeat a story ask
yourself...?
IS IT TRUE?
IS IT FAIR?
IS IT NECESSARY?
