THE BEAUTY OF HYPOCRISY
a manifest by Jina Khayyer
 
the beauty of hypocrisy
follow the movement
follow us
power to the people – people of all ranks
use it, your power
against other people
 
you are alone
think about yourself
fight your war
join the beauty of hypocrisy
it is with you – always; everywhere; forever
 
the beauty of hypocrisy
smarter than communism
more honest than democracy
be a good hypocrit and you will be rich
richer then any man
richer then any woman
 
the beauty of hypocrisy
arm yourself
now
choose your weapons
hoist the flag
