Those Who Dismiss Me

Those who dismiss me as unsuccessful this is their business And what is their business is no business of mine But as long as they do not slander me everyone of me is entitled to their opinions And since they are entitled to their opinions this does suit me fine I would rather be seen as unsuccessful and try to live as a good person Than being seen as successful at someone else expense For why would i wish to be successful if it makes others materially poorer Does what i am saying to you make sense The horrible stories of greed and corruption that we do read of And hear in the media every day Shows the darker side of humanity but good to know That most people are not corruptible in any way Those who dismiss me as unsuccessful entitled to their point of view But what they say of me is quite okay as long as they say what is true For i too have been blessed with human feelings And only ask of anyone the respect to me that is due.
