Ignoring Hypocrisy

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Why is it,
More people give their attention...
To the hoodwinked done to do creators.
Offering up tricks to treat.
Done to deceived and it to feed.
Too obvious to disbelieve.
And yet...
Respected more than it shown given,
In places...
Where people declare,
And claim themselves to be...
Self righteous Christians.
Who fight for the betterment of humanity.
As long as democracy,
Entitles them with the right..
To express less diversity of it.
With an ignoring the hypocrisy addressed!
