Humility Haikus


Two holes worn in floor
Bowed head, shaken hands, mixed tears
Crushed knees reveal light

Destroy our towers
Self exhortation brings death 
Through rubble we rise

Admit to weakness
Strength is in chinks acknowledged
Known weakness builds might

Pride destines swift death
No one can survive alone
Confidence distracts 

When eyes stop at nose
When no one else is vital
World blurs to nonsense

Trophies dust and rust
Last place assures victory
Glory more in friends

Acclaim: fading mist
Praise of men is temporal
Strive for the good fight

Good guys finish last
Ensure all can survive race
Bad guys end alone

From rags came hero
From heaven to homelessness
Servant rescues all
