Humility

To exercise humility mustn’t be a task

If you don’t know, then ask

We see, with clarity, the consequence of arrogance

And we see the grace of nature dissipate in its wake

It’s okay to make mistakes but I may have found the answer

It is both the cause and cure for this strain of cancer

But the thoughts run off track

Like the world we’d pray to save but won’t get back

My meandering mind takes a step back

I know nothing

 

To speak softly and sincerely shouldn’t be as hard

Simplicity is all too often marred

By pompous and pretentious, pedantic pontificating

And

Wait, what am I saying?

The heaviest burden is the one begotten within

It pulls downward at the corners of the proudest grin

It fails exoneration of the profoundest of sins

And prolongs every war that you hoped to win

 

Humility is not a virtue of nascence

It signifies what its root implies; humiliation

Further, realization and reconciliation with the truth

The always unaltered, sometimes unuttered truth
