Humility
Freedom not to think of oneself is called humility
To stand upright not wrapped up in oneself but humanity
Make the appropriate estimation of your worth in society
Then accept it with humble piety
Don't talk about yourself
Or else you will be kept on the shelf
For it will be done when home you are gone
It will be sung loudly in the microphone
Even though you be a man of titles
Don't behave like in water turtles
For it is not titles that honor men
Men of titles must bow and utter amen
True merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes
The false heroes glorify themselves at all costs and stakes
It is beautiful when others discover thy good qualities without thy help
Then sit out basking in the sun while the dogs do yelp
We come nearest to greatness when we are great in humility
The wise men know it that blushing is the color of virtue of entity
