You'd Better Pass

It's only human to listen to talk
     but I've found sometimes too
People aren't given the chance they deserve
     or the credit that they are due.
Because you know, there's always some
     who thrive on malicious talk.
They'll place a person in a glass house,
     and stand holding the rock.
I wonder if they, or for that matter, you
     could survive in that house of glass.
If not, when gossip is offered to you,
     You'd best say, "No thank you" and pass!
