They run down corridors, penetrate Eardrums, tympanic membranes vibrating Sounds of whispered ignorantia, injected In minds, spewed out of unclosing mouths.
Actively engaged in spreading the word, As meticulous news reporters committed To divulge, unfounded information, undercover Agents passing off as martyrs compelled,
To fulfil their duties pretending To reluctantly execute a social service, yet, No one knows whether the lady down The street truly cheated, nor if her daughter
Also slept with the alleged lover, while The audience is convinced and has convicted The adultery of the first sentencing the second, To shame and long-lasting denigrating fame.
The punishment assigned to the free walking Defendants, found guilty by a jury of their peers, A public court rising to judge an offence Sickly existing merely in those insinuating
Voices, inundating the tribunal corridors Of the neighbourhood, the city, the world, Tv and the web. Leaving the only words That count engraved in marble, epitaph
On the tombstone of a suicidal man,
βIn loving memory of Mallory Dupe. Beloved husband of Helen and loving Father to Giselle. Shamelessly killed By rumours. No redemption granted.β
