The One Without Ruth

I may not be popular for speaking the truth
When i say that a poor enough person is the one without ruth
Though the one in question may be a billionaire
One who for self and family and close friends only seem to care
One who for to help one in need of helping has never been known
They only do care about self and their own
And any compassion to strangers never show
Though their sort of person most do wish to know
Since money wins one admirers this well may be true
Though i believe that to self centred people credit ought not be due
With only those very close to them some of their gains they do share
And sad to think nowadays such people are not rare
Compassionate people are those i admire
And of singing their praises i could never tire.
