Those gossip mongers

Those gossip mongers,
are like Page 3 reporters,
ever ready with news,
on half truths.

Those gossip mongers,

of Chinese whispers,
distorting stories,
with their own words.

Those gossip mongers,

or other's sufferings
unaware their grief,
could be hot discussion,
for someone else like them.
