Thunderstruck, and in awe she watched
As the master of tact taught her a valuable lesson
Never be fazed by the false, unjust allegations
Don’t let them topple your house of cards
Or steal the wind from your sails in spite
With all the poise and calm the lady, flicked aside
The spite and hurtful speech thrown at her head
She stood proud and straight, letting insults glance off her
Like the water off the duck, without causing harm
Order was restored in the chaos by her demeanor
The blather and babbling curtailed soon to whispers
The lies can damage only those who are guilty
The righteous should not fear the tools of the cowardly
In response to the following prompts;
YDWP;

great use of the prompts … sadly lies do take seed and grow! Often only legal redress will halt it ๐ฆ

had just finished reading an article about such a case … a journo claiming nine yo dwarf was 18 and fleecing the system! Something very easily proven but she didn’t bother to check ๐ฆ
