–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
Yet these descriptions
such condeming? words
Almost a screaming
no don’t do it
no don’t be weak
If called a bad thing
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
