The trap of Gossip

Normal conversation,
Spiked with the dregs of rumors,
Malice of clear intention,
In carpet layers.

The prince to the frog,
The princess to the beast,
Gossip is folly,
To that there's no glory.

Condemnation, discontentment,
Is all they speak about.
What happened to redemption?
Is it so far shunned out?

I never expected it to be like this,
To be left out because of gossip,
To not take part in adding to your spiteful list,
Would I that you be shot by Cupid.

The arrow that flies true,
Carries not human love but God's.
So that reality may strike you,
And evil words from your mouth will stop.
