Hypocrisy

No racist rat is indeed above the law
Justice must be blind, fair, equal and raw
For all, in a democratic society
The Christianity of Constantine is the form of Christianity I despise. It is the Christianity that gets tangled up in political affairs. It is the Christianity that asserts it's power over others sometimes through violence.
Stormy clouds are traveling through your heartAnd bitter grudges are ruining your happinessHate destroys and love builds everything whichIs beautiful. Get a grip on yourself while the midday sun
Un baiser sur le front
Est un geste de trahison
Ce n’est pas un bisou d’amour
Empourpré de joie et d’humour.
As a Chorus of Angels, May you rest in PeaceThe Almighty God will render you JusticeHe will welcome you all in His KingdomWhere there is more Liberty and Freedom.
These days when one googles: bigotry; One face shows up, not by hypocrisy, Not by accident. This is a darn travesty.The leader of such a wonderful countryShould not be carrying this ugly baggageOf bigotry, racism, and hate.
Are you listening for all the little things between my words because you seem to have a selective hearing impairment?
You use gasoline in your arguments but somehow you'er the sane one.

BUTTERFLIES AND SWEET DREAMS
A moment together filled with butterflies and sweet dreams.
Like the dark wind of the night,
You left the poet in my heart wanting
As you sang your song...
THE MUSIC OF MY HEART
I heard the kiss
you blew
my way.
It brought me to you.
This lover's play ...
All through the
morning rain
I gaze and say.
JULY 12
Twenty weeks ago In a boat on a floating cloud With marmalade trees and Milky Way skies
Nothing but real allowedOnly natural highs....
For many
this is a time of festivity,
of good tidings,
gifts,
food and family...
While the words,
" merry" and " happy"
float in the air
like shimmering snowflakes.

A white light looks through a piece of glass and sees a variety of colors.
A white sees a purple light and thinks,
"I love how purple is so pretty!"
"I'm wish I could be as beautiful as purple."
I ripped my heart from my chest, as I am apt to do;
"Do you believe in God?" Does "God" believe in you?
I wasn't raised a Catholic, but I know Baptists,
What did your uncle say? (Or another man-to-man…):
When you become a man,
You’ll understand life more than a boy can,
Don’t live in the past or you’ll get left behind,
Life is what you make it, except make it rewind,
The Irony in this Nation
How a color
A sound
Can trigger someone’s mind to hate
The accusations and discrimination that holds a great sense of problem in this white nation
The so called, “American Dream”
Is the ideology that everyone should live content and in peace
With the friendly neighborhood barbecues
And sewing flags out of fleece.
She makes sure everything tucks in,
So that she check out,
And gets checked out by strangers,
to open doors she can walk through.
His family isn't the blood type,
And the Gods came down
They fell to earth like raindrops
Quick and hard
Words jump off the page in ways that are meaningless
I scratch my head for a bit thinking it'll make a light switch go off in my head like, "I GOT IT"
It's getting darker.
A tornado tears through lands,
But I feel so bad.
The impact is colossal.
I wonder if it's my fault.
As simple gusts of loneliness, dandelions greet a long-lost friend
Channeling in two streams where union is all but a question.
White small clouds were rooted too deep inside their world
Everyone believes your great,
They keep on telling me so,
Expertly you play the part of their mate,
Sweet childishness and humour overflow,
The day that a politician berates the hypocrisy that plagues their flawed program is the day that politics becomes extinct.
In place of fanged teeth and outstretched claws,
Pledge your life to endless pride
We only want total control
Pray for our nation under our God
As we commit genocide
-
Submit to the conditional freedom
Or become our hated scapegoat
Religious freedom you ask?
You must've heard it from the settlers.
Who dares question my right to believe?
We must've fought for our freedom not yours.
I am a prouduct of immigrants.
We are of hypocrites made,
Our too familiar tales of huddled masses
and nations fled for futures bright
across the Atlantic's broad blue wings
in hopes that stability might soon ignite
We are of hypocrites made,
Our too familiar tales of huddled masses
and nations fled for futures bright
across the Atlantic's broad blue wings
in hopes that stabilitiy might soon ignite
When He was happyHe placed in the skyA thousand twinkling diamondsAnd the lover reaches up, up, up
To grab these tiny jewelsAnd add to his collection
I fell in love with Thoreau
Until I realized
I haven’t the heart, the soul, the courage
To follow his words --
But one must wonder as one reads…
Lord, I am a sinner.
This I know for certain,
Yet I am not actively working towards self betterment.
Lord on the rare occasion that I get down on my knees to reach you,
Most times I do not know what to say.
I had a strange dream last night,
I was a cop in a lengthy firefight
I was scared and the long awaited back up was just not coming
Bang! Bang! The shots rang!
And all my mind kept shouting was “run Charles run!”
It is midnight again and I don’t know how to last another minute.
I crush my head between my hands and try to squeeze them out,
Should I call them nightmares?
Should I call them dreams?
Knowledge is power
Yet ignorance is bliss
From knowledge, some cower
And to ignorance kiss
Some call knowledge wisdom
But that cannot be true
Because it is by knowledge
For many men will chase the skies, but few will ever find them
A mortal man will morph his guise, and his darkness shall consume him.
Searching for a heaven here hurts many unforgotten
We live in a simple world, carried on by the words,
"Land of the Free, Home of the Brave."
But how important are those words that this country was built on?
How do we live by these words that we're supposed to stand for?
Who’s to say, in this world of gray,
What is right or wrong?
What’s right to some is wrong to me,
And what is right to me is wrong to you.
I never know what's right and wrong
Why should I venture there?
Where mystery has full control
Where pain begins its stare
We live in a nation that's afraid of change
Religious nuts in our faces, acting deranged
They preach and force
Attempt to convert others on their course
Not a prayer could forgive
The injustice done
On sacred grounds
Or the blood split
Or Trail of Tears.
Nor could one admit
The hyprocrisy
That made a people
Undone.
This is not an attack
On any ideals
But as an atheist I say
I can feel as I feel
Don't lecture me with your god
Because I don't believe
If I'm burning in hell, you'll be first there you see
Can you imagine the frustration
The frustration of your own ignorance
and
complacency
But you are made to think that
it is everyone else's fault?
You can't solve your problem
Led by decievers, sharp-toothed shepherds,
by wolves decorated in the palest of fleece,
the sheep fall into line.
Spiritual catharsis the addiction, they tie the beaded tourniquet,
Give me your eyes
So I can see
Much more than this disguise
Much more than sensibility
Imperfection eclipsed by glory
I realize now
Hiding and fronting
Is what I am about
Why does the world judge us?
They act like the victims,
yet they're holding the gun.
Why does the world judge us
when we learn from our mistakes
and we're just having fun?
Just because we're different
Just one more hit.
Everyone else is stoned and wasted beyond help.
Sorry God, I tried to contain myself.
Uh, what's that over there?
Someone brought ecstasy!
Cool, man.
I speak for Him- it’s not my fault
That all those people died
He made me- He told me
Therefore I’m justified
Put down the gun
You think you're tough?
I'm tired of books about women.
Strong women
Women who challenge
Women who can't be princesses
Women who can't want children.
Inner strength
we say ignorance is bliss
hatred, intolerance, and greed are the trifecta of our society
do you see it?
news anchors deliver breaking news: a pop star got married yesterday
We'd just as easily hang each other with the chain around our necks
And continue to burn our brothers because they're the ones having sex
Why are we so quick to damn every young child that loses his way
"Do as I say, not as I do."
the familiar sting of the phrase can date back to you,
to your memories of a child hearing curses
and threats,
watching mom and dad fight
You're the wolf disguised as sheep
yet many would accept you in a heart beat,
you lie and deceive through your smile
yet many would ask, won't you stay a while?
you say one thing but mean another
Shapeless as the shadowthey creep,they lurch,they change,from the bright dayjoyous and gay,or the dim twilight,melancholy and grievous,to the black nightraging and grim.
Here I write my vindicationFor my rightful dedicationWhile through holy elevationMy mindset moves to idolizationWhile in sweet elationTo a land of implication
Interconnected and together infectedwe feel the weight of a Moral Lawpressing in on us.We do what we should notand fail to do what we ought,
Bound in contempt,
Spokes of spine pierce raw skin,
Like spears of war slaughter innocence.
And it's funny,
How the pot's always calling the kettle black,
Funny the hypocrisy,
When you say,
"I'd never do something like that,"
Funny how similar
So many seemingly separate people can be,
Shit you can’t say to your teacher?
It should be titled Shit I Should Say
Math teachers working out polynomial equations and over exaggerated problems of how Bill bought twenty-three hundred apples;
Free speech is fought for
Yet swearing is banned
How can these teachers
Expect us to expand
Filled with so much anger and hate,
We judge each other while losing sight of the meaning of equality.
Hippocritical actions defining our very characters.
We ask ourselves why, yet the answer falls back on us,
“Say what you wanna say. Let the words fall out. Honestly I wanna see you be brave.”
First Amendment.
The guarantee of Freedom of Speech.
We blame others for what they can't be
But we cover ourselves in false identities
With our selective perception
We ignore those we can't see
But hide in lies and obscurity
It may be hard to believe
Catholic school does a number on a child,
He never knows what to believe.
Dear God, that woman in the habit she rapped my fingers time and time again when I’d take the Lord’s name in vain,
My teacher
Waves her hands
Towards the board like my attention
Should be focused on adjectives and verbs
She placed me next to the smelly kid
And the girl who always makes fun of me
I stare outside
As a daffodil, she’s rooted downin dirt and defecation, reflecting sunshine only when her branches are severed
A prophet crossed the white line
And he did not eat a swine.
Disgusted by booze,
He kept out the Jews.
After that he drank palm wine.
Practicing our prayers
Making our lives look great
Making sure we didn’t sin
So there would be nothing on to debate
coming on service on time
almost never been late
trying to smile to each other
Time and time again
we all come
we all smile and grin
cause isn't this a blast?
we all come again and again
every once in a while
there is a "How've you been?"
"Fine" "Better" and even "good"
You say you live your life evangelically,
But all I ever see is hypocrisy.
Personally, I see you equally,
But your thoughts of me,
Are made judgmentally.
You say that you love and talk to God up above,
Our distance was created
By individual thoughts
Ideals held tightly
Releasing a friend’s loss
Blinded by Honor’s pride
Visioning all the wrongs
If love held true
Friendship would be strong
Lets rip into hypocrisy
I dont mean The Bible it's perfect
I mean our hypocrisy
Explain to me how you see vision of
Poles, strippers strip strip for you
And money falling from the trees
Clandestinely cascading--
The entire, pitiful, centerfold
That I consider to be a sympathetic heart
Short
Quick
Breaths
Try and hold
Me together
But fail
In utter
Lack of strength.
Massive voids
Consume my middle
Bigger than me
Yet part of
Me
Girls are called fat if they eat and gain weight,
But if they stop eating they are called anorexic.
Either way they are judged by what is on their plate.
When they wear makeup they are called fake,
Such a deceiving visage,
Many of who I had encountered
consider me an standard fellow.
The Truth is, I am a dark room.
Many had opened my doors
only to find the expected darkness.
