Look, See, Learn

Look, See, Learn


Look:

Once upon a time boiling braggart was I
‘Fore the Damascene made me look High: 



See:

Of Holy Majesty that He so commands,
Has He ever boasted of Power in His hands?


Learn:

Servant of Humility why can I not be...
Who imbibes Sate from another’s glee!



***To Humble Men and Humble Women who reckon humankind’s deficiencies!
*** Inspired by Zimbabwean Poet, Klassy Kinda, upon her cherished reference to me as a Humble Man (which I’m still coming to grips with!)

I should try something like this. But not today, Joseph. There's no need. Maybe never will be.
