It is as quick as the flying jet plane
To arrive its destined recipient
But most of the time it won't arrive exact
For its content exceeds or somehow lacks.

It is as destructible as an atomic bomb
Because it can ruin lots of lives in a snap
As its shock wave propagates hastily
From those wicked tongues who spread rumors falsely.

It is as hurtful as you have been sniped
And venomous as the quisling, snake bite
As gossipers love to stab you in the back
Since they're scared of a face-to-face combat.

Coward persons are most likely to do slander
Harming others' reputation, such weak and losers!
Recruiting as much individuals as they can
To expand hate and envy from their vile hands.

Beware of those men whose gossiping is their habit
When you're not around, surely, you'll also be their topic
Nonetheless, surround with people who supports fellow people
Whose interest isn't defaming others, but doing own hustle.

If your neighbor had caused you affliction
Go to him directly and settle in person
But first, pray, and let God guide your actions
To foster peace and upright confrontation.

Indeed, gossip could destroy our dignity
But the Lord is able to restore it completely
Focus on your progress and turn away from jealousy
To eradicate lies and gossip — promoting courage and honesty.

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."
- Ephesians 4:29 (NIV)
