Respect and reputation,
Are anything but hard-earned
Lost in one moment
With one wrong move and step
You are judged adrift and adept
With what you wear and what you believe
Matters to thy world you perceive
Even though your heart may be true
And your values may be true
That matters not
For your appearance is first given a thought
Your aims and motivations affront
Are judged by people who are ironically envious
Are given by people who have failed
That is how the world works in the present days
