Carousel of Rumours

[DWAYNE]

More than once!

Thanks Tony.

Yes, this is a travesty.

Rumors can surely assassinate a person.

[Tony Grannell]

Hello Dwayne, I found this to be extremely upsetting, sickening in fact.. Like an evil rumour-monger twisting the dagger in the corps of innocence. Your poem is as powerful as it is worrisome. Regards, Tony. .

I read about this and have been saddened. I feel this raw emotion. DWAYNE

The temerity.
To call this moral vacancy,
this carousel of rumours
calculated to rouse the patsy frenzy,
reporting.
To sully a young man's name,
whom merciless bandit
hastened to the grave,
and call it
news.

The anguished matron,
steeped in mourning,
plead them,
who would not spare the dead
yet a second mangling,
nor his kin
the dreaded witness of an atrocity,
whom revelled in
monstrous innuendo,
so devoid of decency,
they neither blink nor blush,
nor feign the constitution of such,
refrain from baseless,
slanderous disrepute,
in vain.

For since,
cadaverous rest
doth rob the breath of umbrage,
the sadists whom,
one imagines
ripping the wings from butterflies,
for sport,
in pre-pubescent days,
and have since graduated
to rampant character assassination,
in their later years,
persisted
in unbridled supposition,
opportunistic mendacity,
the pilfered dignity
of a murdered son,
bludgeoned, yet again,
by flagellating strokes
upon a page,
and ceaseless
unscrupulous musings,
for morbid titillation.

That their souls
are rotten to the nub,
any fool can tell,
pray the Almighty
stoke infernal embers,
for when
they all,
will burn in hell!

NOTE:

A young man was fatally murdered in, what appears to be a botched robbery.

The young man happened to work for the Democratic National Committee, and thus some conspiracy theorists, eager to divert attention away from the Nation's Highest Office, theorized, without a shred of evidence, that the young man was in fact, murdered, to cover up his participation in the now infamous, DNC hacking scandal.

The Deceased's family begged these unscrupulous rumour mongers, to refrain from sullying the young man's reputation, in vain.

My outrage, at those merciless scoundrels, has culminated in this poem.
