Though In The Twenty First Century

 Though in the twenty first century self promotion is an in thing

It may be best if you leave it to others your praises to sing

For self  praise is no praise as the wise one did say

Though it seems to work well for many in the World of today

Perhaps it is something that many realize

That extreme love of self  to narcissism gives rise

And it is not saying anything that is in any way new

That narcissists of the World are not of the few

Humility is out of date in the twenty first century

And what a great pity this happens to be

Many look on the humble nowadays as people of low self esteem

And humility is a thing of the past it does seem

In these times when many for attention with each other compete

Egotistical people are not hard to meet

Though there is more to life than living for the i

And those who tell you differently believe their own lie.
