It matters not where you are from
The lower class or high income,
The price has always been the same
A sense of honor, your good name !
Respect for elders, kindly deeds
Concern for others and their needs
The fact that truth is scoring high
Why would another tell a lie ?
If words are all that one has got
What else is there if one is not ?
Tis sad to note that common man
Has more to hide than less to plan
God knows us all and what we do
No secrets here, not me, not you!
