I cant see the relevance of the title to the verse.

Wasn't hypocracy always a bastard kind of thing?

Hmmm...perhaps if I added some barnyard animals you would understand.

I'm with you.

But maybe we're coming at it wrong. What's the bastard of hypocrisy? Well, depends on who's the father. Can we do tests? At a guess, I'd say the bastard of Hypocrisy (by Television, who's incidentally married to an aging stage actress) produces Bluemonkey, who hates them both and yet is hopeless heir to their various unique stupidities.

Every time I read some Kierkegaard, or go farther back to Augustine or Origen I realize we've been devolving for thousands of years...

what's sad about your poem is that I have the radio on, the t.v. on and I'm posting this on the internet. I'm a flippin' trainwreck!!
