Humility

Listen to poem:
Humility is to apologize although it's rejected Showing respect although you're disrespected Being humble isn't something most practice in daily life Most people focus on who was wrong and who was right Humility is the hardest quality of character to apply Imagine being honest with a person who constantly lie Humility can be shown if assisted by the quality of love You can't have one without the other their hand and glove. Forgiveness is another sign that displays the quality of humility To forgive and forget isn't something that's beyond our ability We're taught by human nature to be on top and be elevated That if you allow yourself to be humiliated that you'll never make it Constant competition among the people in the world to be flawless Pumped up ego, to be conceited, always being presumptuous We do all of this just to be knocked back down to ground level Is it really worth it to imitate the characteristics of the devil?

Thank you. This site is awesome. A friend of mine told me about it. He's a long standing member. You should check out some of his work. Jonathan White is the name. You are so correct about humility. My favorite line "Humility is the hardest quality of character to apply"
