Layla Riley-Hill Poet Rhyme

Hypocrisy

They say:

Savages. 
Savages. 
SA-VA-GES.

We say:

Hypocrites.
Hypocrites.
HYP-O-CRITES.

Moral olympics were never your event  -
To participate,
In.
You don’t get a say -
When your words ooze with hypocrisy,
There is no democracy,
In the role you had to play,
In BLACK BRUTALITY.

You live in glass houses,
Throwing stones will break your walls of security,
You don’t get to call us savages -
When you, yourselves are defined by hypocrisy.
Superiority has never existed in your DNA,
When inferiority is the price you pay -
For generational jealousy

Your irrationality,
Blinds your capability -
To see,
The irony -
That the fingers you point, are facing your way
