hypocrite

 there is nothing worse

than having to smell

my own bullshit

to look at myself 

up and down head to toe

and face the inevitable

 

I am have become

the summation of all

the things I detest

the difference being

I am not afraid

to point at the reflection

 

and scream hypocrite!

 

but like a snake

who sheds his skin

I evolve as if reborn

throwing off the death

of stagnant complicity

I become more refined

 

taking one step forward

closer to the truth

while simultaneously

taking one step back

further from the bullshit

that hangs in my nostrils

 

like the odor of a rotting corpse!
