Marty's Card Shop

On Back-Biting

Drop an unkind word
and it radiates
pain
in an ever-widening ripple
across the water
of many souls
creating hurt
not for one,
but for all.
Do not
make me privy
to the darkness
of cruel intention
for I will
protectively
cover my ears
from this
fundamental
and evil
contagion.
Therefore,
I will not
speak
making you privy
to my sinister
intentions,
but I will
control
my darkened nature
not wanting
to spread
this evil
contagion.
Drop not
an unkind word
and compassion
will radiate
in an ever-widening ripple
across the water
of many souls
creating love
not for one
but for all.
