Hypocrisy
Small ripples drift off
Their destination unknown
You may ride the wave
But not steal the ride
Do not push in line
Then tell a lie
Hypocrisy denies
Look on the other side
Nice guys finish
Bad guys are incomplete
The fool that fools themselves
Fails to be fulfilled
~ Camille
“Hypocrisy” is a short, sharp moral cut — a poem about entitlement, dishonesty, and the quiet hollowness that comes from cheating the line and calling it justice.
Printed in vibrant red ink on earthy oatmeal-toned recycled paper, this piece carries a clean edge — a reminder that you can ride the wave, but you can’t steal the ride without losing something in yourself.
