The Sum of your Peers
You turn your eyes inward
And what do you see?
Are you living a life
As the best you can be?
Do you give the respect?
To the people you meet?
Or are they no more
Then the dirt at your feet.
Do you extend out your hand?
And help them to rise?
Or do you smile to their face
While telling them lies?
Do you live by the rule
That’s golden and true?
“Do unto others; as you
would have them do unto you.”
When ask to describe you;
Do your friends speak with pride?
Or do we hear in their voice
That there’s something to hide?
Doe’s your Father smile brightly
And is your Mother real proud?
When; in conversation,
Your name is spoken out loud.
As the sum of your peers
Who have you become?
Are you one of the many?
Or the many of one?
