A Relative Thing

He owns the biggest house in the wealthy neighbourhood
And many say in life that he has done good
Doubtless one of the wealthiest people in the town
His fame is far wider than local renown
In the businessess he own many people employed
His material achievements to him are a sense of pride
That he is one who is financially successful many would agree
Though he never does anything to alleviate local poverty
It is his sort are talked of  and written about
And his worth as a person so few seem to doubt
But not one poor person of the town he looks on as a friend
And only the wealthy to his lavish parties are invited to attend
He is one whose praises so many does sing
But then suppose success can be a relative thing.
