Hypocrites


Whoever decided to come up with the word "hypocrite"

is most undoubtedly a genius.

The perfect word

for the unperfect human condition;

Contradiction.

Oxymoron.

I don't think it is flesh and blood that make you human

but the complexity of polar opposites,

that become apparent in our own values

beliefs

and lifestyle. 

And don't even lie

because we're all hypocrites.

and we know it.
