Today's word is "noblesse oblige" ... noh-BLES oh-BLEEZH ... the moral obligation of those of high birth, powerful social position, etc., to act with honor, kindliness, generosity, etc. (dictionary.com)
Good
Is there a moral high ground,
Where thrive only the highly-born?
Where noblesse oblige is honored,
Toward the lesser and forlorn?
Should we not all shower those,
Who live under troubles sore,
With love and understanding,
Wouldn't we want more?
