If you do something good in
return,
You aren't good; you've settled a due.
If you do something good
intently,
You aren't good; you simply
invested.
If you ask pardon for a
fevour,
You aren't great; it’s a
strategy.
If you give pardon to one
mightier,
You aren't great with no
alternatives.
If you speak truth when
comfortable
And be honest when convenient
You cannot boast of yourself
as great
As any mean one could do them
at ease.
You aren't great being just
in matters
Where being otherwise of no
advantage.
You aren't great with the
veil you’ve made
Of good deeds to hide the ill
gotten.
You aren't great with philanthropy
From the undue or unfair
wealth got.
But for few, all great men
may forgive me
For the revelations made of
them.
