Rumours

The whispers filling the streets
The hunched backs
The harsh glares
The darting eyes and moving mouths

The silence as they enter the room
Smiles suppressed
Laughter restrained
Happiness gagged and evaporating

The insults packing the internet
The threats on family
The mocking of looks
The humiliation and ridicule of their entire life

The deception of reality
The web of lies
The refusal to believe the truth
The disfavor and declination to hear the full story

The alteration of the report
Changes of the narrative
Reversal of the truth
The reformation and reduction of fact
