Gossip
I wrote the poem when I was in my Gossip infested small group at my old church... I didn't like all the drama that went on there... and when I tryed to keep some friends from that group gossip and drama just crept right back into my friendship with them... the only way to get rid of drama and gossip is to surround your-self with Godly friends and not to partake in it... it was hard for me to do this and i still catch my-self doing my share of the gossiping! so read share what you think and yeah so talk to you all later!
It spreads like water
It burns like an unstoppable fire
It goes on and on
It hurts like a knife wound
It spreads like a weed
It goes on and on
It messes with your emotions
It tears relationships apart
It goes on and on
It you can never trust
It plays with your mind
It goes on and on
It causes problems
It you can never stop
It goes on and on
It divides groups
It is wicked
It goes on and on
It is all these things
and
It goes on and on
It burns like an unstoppable fire
It goes on and on
It hurts like a knife wound
It spreads like a weed
It goes on and on
It messes with your emotions
It tears relationships apart
It goes on and on
It you can never trust
It plays with your mind
It goes on and on
It causes problems
It you can never stop
It goes on and on
It divides groups
It is wicked
It goes on and on
It is all these things
and
It goes on and on
One love
One God
Only one way!

When you step out to really seek God the fires of gossip seem to burn all the brighter. The only thing to do is to at the very least not add to the fire. In my experiences I have wanted to defend myself - to right the wrong somehow. But, the way to overcome gossip is to entrust yourself to Him who judges rightly. People don't judge in righteousness - they are easily swayed and embrace lies/slander like candy "YUM, YUM!". But, we feed on the Word - and know candy will make us fat and ruin our teeth...ya' know? There are loyal friends to be had in this world! God will bring them to you since you are known to be one yourself!
Missed you last night by the way!!!
