Classic Poem

The man's no bigger than the way he treats his fellow man.
This standard has his measure been since time itself began!
He's measured not by race or creed, high sounding though they be;
Nor by the gold that's put aside, nor by his sanctity!
He's measured not by social rank when character's the test;
Nor by his earthly pomp or show, displaying wealth possessed.
He's measured by his justice, right, his fairness at his play;
His squareness in all dealings made, his honest upright way.
These are his measures, ever near, to serve him when they can;
For man's no bigger than the way he treats his fellow man.
