Oralcide

Slander and defamation of character kills.
Quicker than the slow affect of applied poison.

Lies spoken from someone's lips,
With an intention to damage others...
For pay or something more ignorant.

Whispered into an attentive ear.
Hearing what one wishes to hear...
Unvalidated!

And is far more effective...
When there is a defective bond detected.
To get divisions started...
Between those that should be close.

To leave all infected.
And uselessly abused...
By an oralcide used and perfected.
