Hypocrisy Poem by Sayeed Abubakar
Hypocrisy
You say that you love rain.
But when it starts raining,
You raise your umbrella.
You say you love the Sun.
But when it spreads its rays,
You look for shade.
You say that you love storm.
But when it starts blowing,
Closing doors and windows
You lie on bed.
You say that you love Man.
But when the poor come at your door,
You turn your face aside.
You say you love revolution.
But when revolution calls you,
You fall asleep.
This is a horrid poem. It's terrible examples of hypocrisy; the examples given are. " I love the sun, but I don't want to die of heatstroke! Thus, I don't really love the sun! " Just. Wow. You like apples, but you'll duck when one gets thrown at your head. I guess you don't really love apples, then! Christ.
We are all creature of hypocrisy, often without intent. I think about when we fall in love, and what first draws us to another often becomes that which is resented later...(ie. gregariousness, self confidence, analytical, wealth, different cultures, drive, etc...) Your words, a mirror, many my choose to walk past, eyes lowered. Thank you for steering me to your write....I invite you into mine. PEACE
Thanks. You have read minutely my poem and your comment is deep.
Thank you for inviting me to comment on this poem. Some people love rain, the sound, the smell, the nourishment it brings to flora and fauna. But to be drenched in it is not a pleasant thing. Some things are meant to be loved and admired from afar. The sun is necessary for life to thrive on earth. It provides warmth and light and keeps us in good spirits. But stay in it too long and you will get burned. Storms are exciting, but dangerous. Caution must be used. Loving your fellow man... this is certainly where hypocrisy is most evident. Love must include understanding, tolerance, the will to extend a helping hand when someone asks. As for revolution, not everyone is equipped or suited for battle, but our voices must be heard when injustice runs rampant. Regarding love, well, this is very complicated. It's a good question you raise, but our saying one thing and doing another is not always an indication of hypocrisy. There could be many determining factors. They should be thoroughly investigated before assuming one is a hypocrite. All in all, your poem is very well written and your query certainly legitimate. I give you a 10
Very nice comment. Your philosophy has been exposed in your speech. I like it.
Very unique theme. Beautiful poem. Whether we dont use the proper words to express our emotions or we are not known to ourselves. And 'You say you love yourself...' thanks for sharing dear. If time permits read mine 'How can i count! '
