It Hardly Will Matter

It hardly will matter to you on your life's journey's end If you are one who never did have one good friend If very few of you have nice things to say Though to help one in need of helping you would go out of your way You may be looked on by the impressionable as an ordinary one Though your mother in you raised a good daughter or son In the Human World of today the humble seem to lose out That in the twenty first century self promotion is the in thing there can be little doubt In public anonymity you are not on your own The majority of humble people like you are not ever well known In the twenty first century self promotion does seem the in thing The praises of the humble few bother to sing The most of the praise goes to the one with the loudest mouth And the one who is humble of admiration loses out.
