The Kindest of Whispers
A whisper here, a whisper there.
The secrets people tell.
All rumors spread without a care
And in half-truths they dwell.
A whisper here, a whisper there.
You need to have a sleuth
To learn why many do not care,
As lies become a truth.
A whisper here, a whisper there.
Some whispers are quite cruel!
They live as long as people share
With apathy as fuel!
