You invoke the powers of a double-standard
To malign and mangle myriads of names
But react enraged when reconciled the same
Like wine's words of wisdom - grapevine
Faceless, you are, with the aspersions you spread
Conjuring coersion with the lies in your head
You usurp the trust which friends have endowed
You ostracize others to be part of the crowd
Like wine's words of wisdom - grapevine
Rumors and gossip, your palaver of joy
Innocent reputations you reap and destroy
Procuring felicity through others' shame
You point the finger so as not to be blamed
Like wine's words of wisdom - grapevine
For on the vines the grapes grow faster than time
To cloud and obscure anything it surrounds
But behind the clouds lies the victim - a mime
Waiting to be found, to let the truth sound
While still succumbing to wine's words of wisdom
They spread like a grapevine
