The Person You Are

People of all sorts one does meet every day
And are what you make of them seems true to say
The values you live by says more about you
Than your money or your social rank could ever do
Many seen to be newsworthy in their ways small
Their idea of a fair go does not include all
Up the social ladder with your money and the power of it you have climbed far
But this does not tell us of the person you are
For those doing it tough can you feel sympathy?
If you cannot you are lacking in empathy
As well as in compassion which seems sad to say
There are plenty of your sort in the Human World of today
The impressionable masses your praises may sing
But of the person you are this does not tell us a thing.
