What is worth but a measure of popularity?
The populous of the beautiful and granting
Those who walk the streets gilt in gold and
Speak the words of pleasance?
Keeping appearances and good sides
Assuaging the egos of the softest confidence.
Those of easy humor and false show.
Truth and honor, service and fortitude
Are more likely measures of worth.
Some find these to be taxing on egos
Easier it is for theatrics and circumstance.
Leading the way to tarnished gold gilt streets
For words of pleasance to turn to evil
Only to lose face and face themselves alone.
