It lay in tatters, besmirched and tarnished
A few words thrown carelessly, without thought
Was all it took to blot what was spotless before
The words are now traveling with the winds
Scattered like pollen dust, everywhere
That is all it takes nowadays, to spoil and blacken
The character and reputation of a person
It doesn’t matter if they are guilty or not
Just spread the rumors and you have done the harm
Now even if you beautify, and adorn the same
Put flowers, ribbons and tassels to make it look pretty
The harm that has been done, can seldom be undone
People are good at remembering the faults and flaws
It would take another lifetime to build it again.
