Imitate Hypocrisy Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Imitate Hypocrisy



Colleagues extolling Protestant and Calvinist business ethics
and material morality creating wealth while improving health -
thus praising a former regime's higher standards establishing
a successful society in Africa - they forget that the glittering
material edifice was founded on the spiritual rot and decay of
oppression which was justified and glorified by false religion

Hypocrites discriminating on the basis of appearance - I do
not care for the society that was destroyed when we elected
President Mandela for South Africa - the accomplishments
and snobbery of an immoral society have no merit when it's
based on exploitation - wait, I hear you say, but that is the
way of ALL politicians globally - yes, it is true; but at least

The new interracial nation extends opportunity for power &
corruption to everyone, not only the light-skinned few and
having equal opportunity to do right or wrong is so much
more just than the elite usurping all corrupt practices them-
selves; a majority without rights were reduced to slavery -
do not wonder that these slaves, when finally set free,

Do not understand material and spiritual morality as they
adopt the corrupt practices of their former oppressors and
imitate their hypocrisy so faithfully!
