Gossip’s Gossip while the rest of Mankind Breathe

Redemption arrives to me from cautious contemplation
Perception on the iniquity dreamt by you into formation
Defamation set to trickle from pernicious poisoned tongue
Besmirch borne breath to persuade, innocence to be undone
But lo our saviour ‘contempt’, lightens the tone to comedy
And derision declares this juncture, a mock tragic travesty

Virtue would impudently behest. Denying chance, forecast!
Impeachment and untamed idiocy will always cease to last
Weathering wild claims so riotous to every sense and reason
Obscurely peddled amity, an unconventional name for treason?
Even civic vision of respectability would beg that it be asked
That ferocity and viciousness might be more credibly masked!

Absconding the shores of actuality with all who care to claver
Your character is saturated with your unsavoury spiteful slaver
Banishing idle wickedness, your avarice and bile-ridden greed
Petty inconsequential few, all former regard I hereby concede
As you graze upon distorted lies and imagined insults never said
Adieu to you, most perfect bedfellows – an ass and horses head!
