People don't normally care about who you actually are

They check how useful in their lives, to them, you are

To people most, your money, chair and position matter;

If useful to them you are, invitations to you, they scatter.

In your good books to be, try they will, their very best;

Putting you upon a pedestal high, up on a high crest.

Once their job is done, away they move from you; far away

It is entirely commercial; motive based, how long in their life, you stay.

Often after retirement, useless you are to them; merely garbage;

Insult you they may, or sarcastic be; or even show their outrage.

Outcasted you are, or royally ignored; this may hurt you no end

Remember dear readers, you will such  people meet, at every bend.
