People Are Prople Folks Are Folks

There are differences in what I have seen
Just in the way some are
But, after all the smoke has been blown away
Some are nice and some are mean
Some go to the top, some don't get that far
Some say a lot, some don't have much to say

Some drive fancy cars, others like to walk
The finest clothes some wear, some just what is clean
Macy's for some, a few go to Wal Mart
High powered speeches for some, others coffee shop talk
Some are heavy on the scales, some are lean
But most in one way or another have a heart

Some the Stock Market, Farmer's Market for some
Diamonds, gold for the rich, some just a wedding band
Money is the dividing line there
Some will take it all, others will just take it as it will come
Some will stab you in the back, others will shake your hand
Some wish on a star, some still believe in prayer

Some dwell in the city, others out in the country
Some don't even know where they are
Some are serious, others full of jokes
Some are into themselves, think about "just me"
Then some won't travel unless in a fancy car
People are people and folks are folks
