Leave It To Others

That self praise is no praise happens to be true
Leave it to others to praise you if praise is your due
In the twenty first century self promotion with many is an in thing
The self centered their own praises do love to sing

So many willing to tell you of how successful they are
Of their recent job promotion or the size of their brand new car
In truth they are prisoners of their own self conceit
Than their sort a down to earth person much preferable to meet

On saying the quiet achievers nowadays are of the few
Is not saying anything that is in anyway new
Whilst many of their own success stories with others only too willing to share
The narcissistic inclined are no longer rare

At social gatherings and wherever people do meet
Many for attention with each other compete
In the twenty first century self promotion is an in thing
So many their own praises only too willing to sing.
