“having a lowly opinion of oneself; meekness; having a low estimate of one’s importance, worthiness, or merits; marked by the absence of self-assertion or self-exaltation; lowly: the opposite of proud.”
–From the Oxford English Dictionary, a sample of what is found under Humble and Humility

Somewhat surprising?
As if it were believed wrong
as if hard to accept
this humility thing

Wasn’t it supposed a good thing
a cautious estimate not to overstate
a prudent awareness of inherent limitations

no don’t be weak

need it then not be done
Is there an aversion natural
to humility the good

From where comes
these thoughts of what ought or not be
