The Hypocrite

Consistently inconsistent Responsibly irresponsible Flies among the birds Yet the rat is his shape... ... The hypocrite... The truthful liar A pious criminal Belongs to the two ends Mouth: Two sided Leaking words... ... The hypocrite... Healthy but sick Hungry but full He is the foolish wise Himself he deceives Abeit thinking the world he deceiveth He knoweth not Full or not He hath his stomack... ... The hypocrite... Black nor white Here nor there Hence nor thence He is. ... The hypocrite... He tells them That he hates us. Us he tells Hateful are they to him! Inside his belly, Both sides he had cheated He hath the gain Or so he thought... ... The hypocrite... Then he enjoins good But he is immersed in same. He hath disease Yet he admit not. Help he yet refuse From those who knows. To others, He is the best... ... The hypocrite... For him Is a great torment Which he knoweth not... ... The hypocrite... Let's cure the world Of this scourge Lest we all Bear the brunt of this disease Called... ... Hypocrisy...
