Just my opinion

I'm Just a Small Nobody By Franklin Price 5/27/2016 I'm just a small nobody Of these days I'm not a fan I see all that is happening Think this is how it all began It began with losing values As the few took full control Made it all about the money Let their greed condemn their souls Rolled the dice and played the market Became a winning bull or bear Matters not much how they got it That they've got it's all they care When they got it they would flaunt it With abandon flash it 'round Walk on backs that made it happen 'Til they're lain beneath the ground Money's not for money's sake It's not what makes you rich It's to care for people 'round you I'm sure you've heard that age old pitch Not what you have but who you are Be it pauper, king or pawn That will tell how you're remembered By your history when you're gone Respect is for respectful Kindness for the kind Love is for the loving I think that's what you'll find Richness is quite personal Earned from friends and family Treat all others as yourself And true fortune you will see
