Hypocrites...'tis Who They Are Poem by James B. Earley

Reflecting who they are by far
Remembering where they've been and when
....Observing in the here and now
My consciousness revived again

..What Arendt spoke 'tis not a joke
It's simply who they are by far
....Living in the here and now...
Hypocrites in fact is who they are


Author's note:
'What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.'
~Hannah Arendt
