             REPUTATION
         By ... Steve Lucky

Over a lifetime reputation is built
Yet it is effected by things untrue.
Sometimes there is little one can do
As a reputation begins to wilt.
Whether from personal feelings of guilt
Or from false rumors that suddenly grew,
Reputation comes from other points of view
And those points of view frequently tilt.
Good reputations should be aquired
For business and personal interactions.
Poor reputations are hard to overcome.
Harder still when false rumors have backfired,
Is it to gain public satisfaction.
Ultimately reputation still depends on one.
