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
