A Lot To Desire Poem by Francis Duggan

The impressionable masses you may well impress
And in their thinking you are a great success
But majority thinking does not always have it right
Since many into materialism seem lacking on insight
Money does not make anyone more compassionate and kind
Or to helping of others any more inclined
The size of your home your swimming pool, boat or brand new car
Does not tell us of the person that you are
To be one of those known as the well to do
Does not make a better and superior person of you
Than a poor person who does a good deed every day
And to help one worse off go out of their way
The impressionable masses you may well admire
Though in many of them there is a lot left to desire.
