Greatly seen are the material things
Expunged are the essential values that survived
Long ago
Slain by killer eyes who justify worth
By the name brand
And not the power in a firm shaken hand
Not by the sweat on the brow of a hard working man
Impressed by the come up and not the climb up
Settling instead of striving for more
Than the towel that replaces a throw rug on the floor
