Rumors

Vile, bittersweet

Poison dripping into gullible ears.

Tell a lie, let it spread like wildfire

For the truth, in reality is a bore.

Yes, rumors. I certainly do question their existence, I mean, rumors spread all the time, and all it does is hurt people. Maybe there's some pleasure spreading it, but you're not being a Saint altogether. Your haiku keenly expressed the disgust one should have towards rumors. I liked the almost cynical approach on the last line. I hope people will understand the uselessness of rumors, to most I have been witness to, myself. I applaud your efforts, good job.

Rumors create chaos and stir up trouble but compared to what really happened, the rumor seems more interesting.
