It Is Not

It is not your Nationality or skin color of black, white or brown
Or if you live in the poor or the wealthy side of the town
It is the sort of values that reside in your mind
You cannot live as a good person if you are not compassionate and kind
Those who see success in the accumulation of money have got it all wrong
Though the belief on this way of thinking in many is strong
But if you are one for those doing it tough who does not feel sympathy
Then you have to be one lacking in empathy
And your lack of empathy that is born of compassion tells us more about you
Than all of your material possessions can do
Though the praises of the wealthy and famous the masses may sing
The accumulation of money and a successfully lived life quite a different thing
You cannot be truly successful if you are not caring and kind
And these things belong in the beautiful mind.
