Two Kinds

Blunt or twisted tale tellers
both decorate my life.
But if I had to choose one way to live
I'd say straight-on causes less strife.

Then again for pain avoidance -
dodging brutal, searing blows -
twisted tales whisper much better,
straight-on every-one knows.

Straight on blasts hurt like the devil,
then you can cauterize the wound
while twisted tale rumors prevail,
making the unaware a buffoon.

If you have to choose amongst the two
(no holds barred or behind-the-back bitches),
you might want to change the peeps you keep:
leave the blowhards and ban the snitches.

Let the twosome dance together
until there's one, alone.
Before, talking smack or behind the back
Now, atop a lonely throne.
