WHO AM I?

I maim without killing.

I break hearts and ruin lives.

I am cunning and malicious and I gather strength with age.

The more I am quoted, the more I am believed.

I flourish at every level of society.

My victims are helpless; they cannot protect themselves

against me because I have no name and no face.

To track me down is impossible: The harder you try the more

illusive I become.

I am nobody’s friend.

Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same again.

I topple governments.

I wreck marriages.

I make innocent people cry.

Who am I? – My name is Gossip. (Anon)
