I am not a designer suit
branded by a name
no fancy ingredients
are written for you to read.
.
You often call me many things
some are not so nice
and where they come from
is not to be thought of twice.
So whisper as I walk by
about my evil ways
of how I am doomed to hell
for there is no other way.
I shall just smile and giggle inside
for God and I are friends
I greet his angels each morning
comfort his earthly friends.
As time passes you by
and your tongues grow tired and old
I will know without a doubt as I wore you out
that one soul was spared the grief you brand.

This is an excellent poem that express many truths about gossiping I partically like this i part''So whisper as I walk by about my evil ways of how I am doomed to hell for there is no other way" it just draws me in and makes me want to read it over again.It shows you can have people talking behind your back but you say true to yourself.

I loved your poem, it shows that no matter who wispers behind your back you will find comfort in knowing that god is there for you and you will not fall to the level of the people who have lost their soul to the devil. - sorry i'm in deep thought at the moment for 1am is the hour I am most awake.. but asleep aswell. Lovely write, I enjoyed it. xShadx

Wonderful
Very skillful and thought out poem. Great emotions rise in the process. Good luck in the contest.

and do we really care what others say behind our backs, for when they are talking that way it is only out of envy that they cannot be as free. As gossip only seeks to bring down the freedom thats others have earned. Nicely done.
Best to you in the contest.
Love,

This is astounding
Beautifully written and so very true of life and people. Judgmental beyond what they really know, and not wnating to know the truth. Great write.
*Go with God* my friend
