The Hypocrite


This man who says he is right, is almost always wrong. He has very little friends, and is discourteous to them all. A man who is never satisfied, and wants all to be satisfied with him. He sees himself as a wise man, yet wise is not what he is. The man in the expensive suit, who cannot afford his rent. He talks of the poor as lazy, but refuses to find a job. One by one, his friends disappear. "Goodbye" they say to the hypocrite, for he will not be missed.

<p>This is something many people come across in their lifetime, it's just something that happens. I love how you have been able to articulate it and bring it to life with your clever rhymes that are very well written. I tip my hat to you because I certainly cannot do that. Thank you for sending this piece in.</p><p>Rebecca</p>
