The Less People Poem by Francis Duggan

The less people you know the less people to judge you some wise person was known to say
And others drag down the tall poppies that happens in life every day
If others know nothing about you then you they cannot criticize
Those who keep a low profile it would seem are doing what is prudent and wise.

The more people who seem to know you the more people to drag you down
The one who has got the most critics is the most popular person in Town
Not everyone follows the leader the leader some choose to oppose
Not all leaders scent of fresh roses some find them a bit on the nose

The less people who know of you it would seem is all of the better for you
Some people are not very good at giving credit where credit is due
In a World of so much self promotion some their own praises love to sing
Self love all right in moderation but too much of it is a narcissistic thing.

The less people who know you for you all the better that's how it would appear to me
Us humans are not known to be flawless we can be prone to jealousy
And the less to know of you for you seems the better to say that may seem a bit sad
But if people know nothing about you of you they can't say good or bad
