Humility

Behindpassive docility 

Isa layer of inner tranquility

Wherethe strength of resolve

Isthe linchpin to solve

Allthe problems of modern civility.

 

Thefaçade may be humble and shy

Andthe wherefore may exceed the why,

Butthe answers you seek, 

Thetimid and meek,

Maybe hard for the hordes to decry.

 

Noone wants a braggart for friend,

Butyou don’t want to hurt or offend.

Youhear with disjoint

Onlyup to a point,

Butthen turn a deaf ear in the end.

 

Thereis only so much one can take

Whenmucking the mire with a rake.

Youtry to hold back

Whenyou’re under attack and

Staycalm for humility’s sake.
