Hypocrite!

by David Pekrul  
9/18/2008 / Poetry

You say you love your neighbour,
and we should do likewise,
yet you talk behind one's back
if they dress differently,
or speak in a foreign tongue,
or have skin a different shade from yours.
HYPOCRITE!

You say, "Thou shalt not steal",
yet you cheat on your income tax,
or fail to tell the store clerk
that she has given you too much change.
HYPOCRITE!

You say you won't attend a church,
mosque, synagogue or temple
because they are full of hypocrites,
yet you will spend hours in the local pub,
surrounded by some
who pose as good family-men,
yet cheat on their wives,
or you befriend so-called law abiding citizens,
who think that driving faster than the posted speed
is just part of the game.
HYPOCRITE!

Don't you see?
There are hypocrites everywhere,
in every walk of life,
every station and income level,
every religious institution,
every workplace,
every place of entertainment.

To say that you will not attend church,
or be seen in public with
"this type of person"
or
"that type of person"
because they are hypocrites,
then form your own associations
based only on appearance,
is in itself hypocritical.

Most people who support
the local pub
are not hypocrites,
but there are some who are.

Most people who attend church,
the mosque, synagogue or temple
are not hypocrites,
but there are some who are.

Most people in your workplace are genuine
and true,
but there are some who are not.

"Whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise,
think on these things." (KJV Bible)
