Self Effacement

Some people on themselves are harder than tough
They convince themselves they are not good enough
Though not lacking in talent they will never know of wealth and fame
Due to their lack of self confidence which does seem a shame
For self betterment self effacement is not a helpful thing
In a Human World where many their own praises do sing
Many into self promotion for themselves do quite okay
This is how it is in the Human World of today
The praises of self nowadays so many do sing
In the twenty first century it has become the in thing
We live in the age of the  me, myself and  i
Where the self effacing person as an almost unknown does live and will die
Self effacement in the twenty first century seen by many in a negative way
And  this indeed does seem a sad thing to say.
