Let Us Put On Humility

Let us put on humility, Even being on center stage; Remain meek and modest amid Honor, glory, praise, and prestige. Meekness may elicit picture Of someone saying 'I was wrong'; Or one telling 'I need help' from A certain group he does belong. Yes, it brings into mind of one Not expecting royal treatment; Remaining lowly and humble, Even if he is prominent. It further raises one's image Of putting others' concern first; Reaching down to other people From pedestal of interest. The lowliness leads to wisdom, While the arrogance to disgrace; The former ends in accolade, As the latter in shame of face. Humility brings wealth and life, While the ego castigation; Modesty makes joy and gladness, As pride puts one in destruction. Hat in hand truly gains guidance, As cap on head spawns misery; Clothe not ourselves with boastfulness, Let us put on humility.
