Why Do We Define

Why do we define people by their material or financial success By their so called social standing or their postal address By the size of their home, swimming pool and car These things tell us nothing of the person you truly are Since the person you are does live in your mind Are you one who is generous, compassionate and kind Are you one of those who gives to receive And on a fair go for all do you truly believe The good things you do for others as a person says more about you Than all of the good things for yourself that you do They possess a great gift those who have empathy And are of far more value to humanity Than some of the wealthy people on your side of the town Who on their climb to material success have dragged others down.
