Yes, it does. That is a good thing, although I'm afraid that a great many people don't read poetry. We have to remember that we are preaching to the choir here.

That says it all…the sickening smile of hypocrites…they nearly drool. Their eyes mock. Truthful, loving people can look you in the eye and don’t stumble over their words. They don’t hide either.

Thanks, Delice. Oh, how I hate hypocrisy, and yet, I suspect that all of, at one time or another, become its victim.
