Yes, there’s hope for hypocrites – <br /> <br />hypocrite poets, who write <br />from the goodness of their hearts <br />of the good, the true, the beautiful; <br /> <br />out of the chaos of the well-intentioned <br />and sometime messy life; <br /> <br />hypocrite readers, who turn <br />to those same poets for reminders of <br />the good, the true, the beautiful <br /> <br />out of the chaos of the well-intentioned <br />and sometimes messy life; <br /> <br />(hypocrite editors, dare we add, who, <br />knowing the good, the true, the beautiful, <br />turn down our poems, because <br />it’s been said oft and better, long before…) <br /> <br />the blessing for all hypocrites <br />is that they know better; and one day… <br /> <br />may match their actions to their words; <br />words, well-intentioned, sometimes messy, <br />written from the goodness of their heart; <br /> <br />and in the heart, as given timeless time, <br />hypocrisy dissolves…<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-s-hope-for-hypocrites/
