Humility is

 

What do we really think of this word,

in modern world absurd,

abused, neglected and oft forgotten,

Humility, a trait list of, at bottom,

not declination of design,

not demur, polite, obscure, 

no defensive bowing,

nor furtive face shading,

but alone on the road,

out up front, on ways not recognised,

dying to self with pain a given,

letting go and doing all,

humility is,

directly explained,

in unpoetic lines,

letting I am do with you, as he will,

will you let I am in?

humbling yourself?

bowing the knee?

and doing as I am will do with you?

let go the manmade dreams,

let go the complex-a-cation,

let go of letting go and,

this time, let go.

Humility is misdefined misunderstood and hated in halls of 

government or movements or business.
