The words of a gossip should never be trusted
Today they are tearing someone else down
Tomorrow in front of a different audience
You will be the topic of conversation
Words spoken in a whisper
Are seldom shared face to face
The person held in judgment
Is never there to offer a defense
In the heart of the one listening
There is a nudge
A twinge of their conscience
The knowledge that gossiping is wrong
However any objection
Or the courage to speak up is stilled
As the listening audience
Is invited to join in the sin
