    Hypocracy on Stage

    Mingled words arranged complex to sound

    Indeed do function to baffle and confound

    The sharpest whit that reads knowledge to gain

    Reading obscure messages—fails to obtain.

     

    Sophistication standardized by n’one

    Ideas and style accepted by everyone

    They themselves perplexed but say it not

    Just wander in their boast and never taught.

     

    Foolish do they seem in pauper eyes

    They live life in overt disguise

    And use cloaked words to cleverly conceal

    That which isn’t seen but we all know is real.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
