The Person You Are

The pride of the Nation you are looked on as a great
And your many achievements the masses celebrate
From your hometown your name and your fame has spread far
But that does not tell us of the person you are
To the higher self are you one who is true
And are you one who never does deny anyone of their due
Do you feel compassion for the poor of the town
And offer assistance to the one who is financially down
Or are you one who does lend your influential voice
To those who promote the idea of a life's choice
That you can thank your own self for your wealth and fame
And that those who are poor for that have only their own selves to blame?
No your many admirers and the size of your house and your car
Does not tell me of the person that you really are.
