Notes About The Poem

Just my opinion

I'M Just a Small Nobody

I'm Just a Small Nobody
By Franklin Price

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
