If you have lived long enough and have a little keen observation
I have no doubt you will relate to this common situation
WHen data treacles down the grape vine and changes form
The story modifies, twists and grows and amplifies, filled with lies
No one bothers to come and ask for your witness testimony (IF only!)
People receive the 'news' and accept it as fact; They swallow, digest and react!
My mistakes blown out of proportion, I'm painted as wicked as Nero!Others defend their image and get painted as heroes!
The crowds that used to greet go silent. (I wouldn't be shocked if they turned Kill-Bill violent!)
Written on each face, a scowl that tells me the rumour has taken root, found a cosy place
Yet no one has come to ask - No one wants a fact finding task or intercedes for grace
Those words become a mask to mask the truth that they wont ask
Gossip goes down like a t-bone stake, juicy, tender, GMO and fake
Wont someone give me a break!
But in all this atleast I know my real friends come to inquire because they care
For them, its more than just another juicy morsel to share.
So before you listen to a story that is seeping through the vine
ANd before you share it, think: Is it true, is it fair, will sharing it be kind?
Sometimes you have better things to feed your mind!
*Food for thought - No G.M.O. for the mind!*
