the transfer of fear, a battle of power spreading concerned 'secrets'
Like chinese whispers, what started as the married woman had an affair with the page
ends up with the mistress had 20 lovers.
The power of words, or rumor claims?
Rumors are funny, they consist of battering another's position
yet they're spread without the person's awareness
Hence rarely allowing the one in question to stand up for themselves
Like a battle with no outcome, for the situation turns into fiction
bearing only certain minds in power
Notice how every time there are two people in a room, there's always conversation about a third
Seldom is it two's company, and three's a crowd, more like two's a bore, three's a laugh
Can society be on the tip of their toes in words about others that make them rejoice
Singing of failures, inhaling far from the bright, after all who's to say what's right and wrong,
and even if they do, only the individual would believe it, cos each person has a mind of their own.
