The Web Poetry Corner - Richard Betts Jr. - Hypocrites

Hypocrites

by

Richard Betts Jr.

The hypocrites spew
Their sanctimonious lies,
Then go home to live
Their felonious lives.

The mind of the hypocrite,
Like the pupil of an eye,
Closes and contracts
When exposed to the sky.

The more light one shines upon them,
The more they are fearful of the sun.
The more one offers opposing ideas,
The quicker they reach for their gun.

If you were not a hypocrite,
You would teach tolerance and inclusion.
But in your righteous indignation,
You breed fear and confusion.

Make the world safe for diversity,
For we all have much to give.
Don't dislike me because I'm different,
Just live and let live.
The more light one shines upon them
