Humblicity


Ecclesiastes 8:9 

All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: There is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt.

 

Humblicity

 

There are some words that well describe

the state the mind gets  in

When you hear certain words they petrify

and frame character too thin

A word like obesity sets a frame of mind

and we have the oddity to use it as a original find

Than we act shy and sheepish like every thing is fine

I guess that is humblicity ... a crummy state of mind

To hang on to that entity in your  borrowed frame of thought

makes you realize that your understanding is simply caught

Picked up somewhere by accident and now what you've got

Is the use in being partially right ... or you like it or not
