There's a poem about scandal-mongers, and being the cruel serpents of the earth..

Any help??

Need in an hour o so!!!!

Probably too late, but is this it?

NOBODY'S FRIEND (Author Unknown)
My name is Gossip. I have no respect for justice.
I maim without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives.
I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age.
The more I am quoted, the more I am believed.
My victims are helpless.
They cannot protect themselves against me because I have no name or face.
To track me down is impossible. The harder you try, the more elusive I become.
I am nobody's friend.
Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same.
I topple governments and wreck marriages.
I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartaches and indignation.
I make innocent people cry in their pillows.
Even my name hisses. I am called Gossip
I make headlines and headaches.
