Ipokrit Go Ɛva Dɔn?
PANAYOTA bin mɛn na wan ayland we de na di Mɛditarenian Si. We i bin de bitwin 12 to 19 ia, i bin rili lɛk pɔlitiks. Leta, i bi sɛktri fɔ wan pati we de na di vilej usay i bin de. I bin de ivin go na pipul dɛn os dɛn fɔ fɛn mɔni fɔ di pati. As tɛm de go, Panayota bin gens wit di tin dɛn we bin de apin na di pati; di wan dɛn we bin de na di pati bin de sho se dɛn lɛk wan pɔsin pas ɔda pɔsin bikɔs na dɛn fambul, dɛn bin de fɛt fɔ pawa, dɛn bin de agyu, ɛn dɛn bin de jɛlɔs dɛnsɛf pan ɔl we dɛn bin de kɔl dɛnsɛf padi.
Daniɛl bin mɛn na wan famili we de na Ayriland, ɛn dɛn bin rili lɛk Gɔd biznɛs. I sɔri fɔ no se i bin mɛmba di kayn we aw di prist dɛn bin de mek ipokrit. Dɛn bin de drink pasmak, dɛn bin de ple gambul, ɛn dɛn bin de tif mɔni na di kɔlɛkshɔn plet pan ɔl we dɛn bin de prich se di wan dɛn we de du bad go bɔn na ɛl faya.
Jɛfri bin spɛn bɔku tɛm fɔ de advatayz ɛn sɛl fɔ wan intanashɔnal kɔmni we gɛt ɔfis dɛn na Ingland ɛn Amɛrika. Dis kɔmni bin de du biznɛs wit pipul dɛn we gɛt ship.

Dɛn bin so ipokrit dat dɛn kin gri fɔ tɔk ɛnitin jɔs fɔ mek dɛn gɛt kɔntrakt.
I sɔri fɔ no se nɔto dɛn pipul dɛn ya nɔmɔ dɔn mek ipokrit. Pipul dɛn we ipokrit de ɔlsay na di wɔl; dɛn de na pɔlitiks, rilijɔn, ɛn ivin insay biznɛs. Insay Inglish, di wɔd “ipokrit” kɔmɔt frɔm wan Grik wɔd we min pɔsin we wɛr maks we de tɔk ɔ akt na stej. Afta sɔm tɛm, di wɔd kam fɔ min ɛnibɔdi we de mek di we aw i nɔ bi, jɔs fɔ mek i go go bifo pan wetin i de du ɔ we de du sɔntin fɔ ful ɔda pipul dɛn.
