I am more deadly than the shell from a howitzer; I ruin without killing; I tear down homes; I break hearts and I wreck lives. I have no respect for truth or justice, no mercy for the defenseless. You will find me in the pews of the pious, and the haunts of the unholy. I am wily, cunning and malicious. I gather strength with age. I feed on good and bad alike. My victims are numerous as the sands of the sea and often as innocent. I am gossip.
