Poetry

When vile and malicious rumors to the untrue are left to abound
It is oft the accused innocent whose life becomes mercilessly unwound
Profane and repugnant though the protagonist’s motives may be
It is to those who promulgate the un-corroborated lie, the blame must lead

This less than aberrant practice does in many cultures prevail
The mystery: the inspiration for want to instigate falsehood tales
The energy to fabricate such evil malcontent, to conspire
Would undoubtedly be better served, if spent to inspire

Yet it would appear from eon of historical record to the contrary
Humanity in all its realms of expression utilize this diversionary
To gain selfishly position of power and or treasure
Or more simply for some, joy of psycho-sadistic pleasure.
