In Their Own Small Ways

In their own small ways they can be very small
Some quite wealthy and famous people not good people at all
To the promotion of self they are only inclined
Suppose in every class every sort one does find
Yes in all classes there are all sorts as some like to say
As people they are small in their own small way
Some of the people the majority of the masses out there idolize
That they too have their human frailties comes as no surprise
It was not yesterday that i first became aware
That those with the gift of compassion as always are rare
When the masses out there their idols celebrate
Some big egos they also do help to create
But then suppose we look at life in our ways differently
This is how it is and it always will be.
