Never Show Humility!

Alistair Briggs on Aug 17, 2009

A poem about someone who likes to preach their self-importance.

Hey Mr. Preacher man,
I can’t take you seriously.
You don’t practice what your preach
and you never show humility.

Claiming to be something
that clearly you ain’t,
the good work of others
you constantly taint.

If you mean what you said
and practiced what you preach,
then you would do wonders
to the people that you teach.

But hey Mr. Preacher man,
I can’t take you seriously.
Cause you think you’re so important
and you never show humility.

There are many that say one thing then do another. We’re not perfect. We do the best we can with what we’ve got to work with.
