“Hypocrisy 101 (The Sonnet)

What irritates me the most is hypocrisy,
and fancy chimps cannot fathom the irony.
While untouched by the economic disparity,
in their snow castle they talk of equality.

Counting your blessings on a private jet,
doesn't make you grounded.
Setting up charities to get tax cuts,
doesn't make you philanthropist.

Collecting rings like postcard,
doesn't make you the love doctor.
Regurgitating facts like a robot,
doesn't make you any the wiser.

Hypocrites are the lowest form of animal,
Acting without substance is norm of the jungle.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Divine Refugee
