false truth

Rumourmonger

Boggled by little imagination,

Rumourmongers are smaller selves

Indulging in tacky hearsay.

A flash and flutter delighted by trivial fables

This villager sings bygone cantabiles 

Older than the hill his hut sits on to rest.

Most days dirt climbs up his shoes

Not bothering to clean,

He spits on the narrowing which harrows

A TV kicked into a dam. 

That he finds the living rather damned,

Strange electricity good for shorting sights

Startling news! He savours a sanctimonious shame

Pinning someone for the bigger fussed blame.
