Three Kinds of People

First kind – the multitude of them
Who think just of themselves 
How tremendous they are
And nothing else moves or bothers them;

Second kind – less so
Who thinking of themselves 
'How unique we are'
And of others – in selfish ways of profit;

The third – very few of us
Who think of themselves foremost 
And, always, of others too,
Sometimes helping, 
But mainly - just to protect ourselves from vicissitudes of life;

Forth – none found in existence
Who think only of others
But naught of themselves;
Because - it’s Life.

Arthur. I get where this is coming from, but I would say that there are many shades of "types" in between each of the ones you have listed! People are all so different and yet all so similar at the same time!! An interesting one to read.
