The One Who Is Great To You Poem by Francis Duggan

The One Who Is Great To You



Since on what greatness is you and I do not agree
The one who is great to you is not great to me
Sporting and multi millionaire and billionaire celebrities are those you admire
And of singing their praises you never does tire
As for me I only admirepeople who are caring and kind
Who to the helping of others are willingly inclined
Who without looking for recognition help poor people every day
And on helping those in need of helping go out of their way
Your heroines and heroes despite their material and sporting success
Though their admirers are many me does not impress
You and I look at people in ways differently
But suppose we must differ for to agree
But then suppose we would seem boring if we all thought the same
If we only admired those of money and fame

trouble with 'does', Francis; but seriously, Walt Whitman would love lines 1&2, as I do.
