Hypocrites

White clothes wear for virtue's candidates to appear yet pitch-black their souls stay!*

A hypocrite is more dangerous than a dishonest man. A dishonest man deceives and cheats, and a hypocrite betrays and swindles... Dr T.P.Chia. Welcome back my friend.. Hope all is well with you..

Thank you so much my friend, Afolabi! I am back just for today! I wish I could be here every day and confront those Hypocrites and make them understand that talented people should not try to destroy other poets but to help them! God bless you my friend!

- Their actions are immoral, cowardly and cruel - It's about people who have miles in the distance between life and learning -Excellent written, my dear friend - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Very true my friend, Anne-Lise, that is why I came back today to stand shoulder to shoulder with our friends who are unjustly attacked! These people have to understand that they will not become better poets if they become worse people! God forgive them. I pray they see the light my friend. Thank you for your precious visit! Hugs!

:( It is a sorry state of things, indeed.

Yes, it is my dearest, Eileen and it seems to get worst as talentless people try to built a reputation of a good poet by destroying the reputation of talented people! Hope they will understand that only by becoming good people can improve as poets! Thank you! Filakia!

Demetrios my dearest friend, how good to see you again. This is indeed a very profound Monoku, and sums up so well in such a few words what the word Hypocrite stands for. The camouflage always slips though, no matter how well it is disguised.....Maria xxx

Good to see you too dearest, Maria! Your visit is an act of support to those good people who fall victims to the inconsiderate men and women whose only ambition is to be first no matter what the moral cost! Hope they will realize their mistake and try to rectify the wrong doings they have committed! Thank you so much! God bless you! XXX
