Southern Hyporcites

Hypocritical imbeciles, terminate your flapping tongue

Have you neglected accountabilities you have surmounted?

Profess to have merits, ethical or pious dogmas, doctrines

Feigns some enviable or visibly sanctioned arrogance

Especially in your private being, sentiments, or declarations that belie your public statements.

Author's Note

I would like to personally dedicate this poem to my husband's hypocritical family who hail from Alabama and Kentucky. One who puts on a mask and feigns himself to be what he is not; a dissembler in religion. Our Lord severely rebuked the scribes and Pharisees for their hypocrisy (Matt. 6:2, 5, 16). "The hypocrite's hope shall perish" (Job 8:13). The Hebrew word here rendered "hypocrite" rather means the "godless" or "profane," as it is rendered in Jer. 23:11, i.e., polluted with crimes. By the way I am only quoting the Bible so in case they read this they can maybe have some sort of understanding.

First off all, not all of us Kentuckians are like that.

Great poem. I really like it. :)

^^* I know not all of the people in Kentucky, or any where for that matter, are the same. I know there are a lot of wholesome and genuine people from north, south, east and west states. This poem was directed at a select few who like to cause trouble and shoot their mouths off as though they are exempt from mistakes and bad choices. Basically this was directed at some people from my husband's side of the family.

I know. I just wanted to make sure that others realized that not all Kentuckians were like this. Some people jump to those kind of conclusions, sadly.
