against hypocrisy

Hypocrisy doesn't
matter to me, since
I don't take truth
on authority.
If a practice is good,
then to preach it's fine.
Regardless of how you spend
your time, I will know all the good
of the practice in mine, and figure
it out in being and mind.
So whatever your prestige
position is, however you walk
the talk you give -
doesn't matter at all. Since
I don't obey. I embrace
on merit, such as it is
- not on someone's say.

Hypocrisy is the complaint
of those who cannot own right
by themselves. So they go by
costumes and clothes, and medals,
awards. Certificates, doctorates,
brands and scores of symbols
and reputation marks. To certify

this

is a person of trust, and that

therefore

we can trust what they say.

Ad hominem much?

It cuts both ways.
