FOCAL POINT

The world has bifocal vision
It will not always see you in the same way
If you're never at one focal point
People will always see you in different way
The Duality of social status;
When you have, and When you lack
When you are the provider, and when you need provision 
When you rise, and When you sink 
When you succeed, and when you fail
When you're lounging on the clouds and when you're lingering in the sewer
Will they still honour you? Or will they disrespect you now?
Watch your worth decrease or increase before their eyes
You'll never be looked at as the same person 
Even though your name never changed
You'll be branded a new persona when you win everything or lose everything 
You'll never be the same 
So will your environs and it's subjects 
Strangers, friends, family and loved ones
Mannerisms will depend on your social status 
Maybe they'd listen to you when you're someone 
Maybe they wouldn't have if you're no one
When you move from one focal point 
They'd look up to you or down on you
Society is a lens
And it's bifocal 
Such is the Physics of life
