Humility Poem by Jamiu Olanrewaju

His parents advised him not to jog with boot of pride on the field of life. He told them that it is a pair of self-esteem, but not a pair of arrogance. When he finished jogging round the field, he started panting at its centre, after much relaxation, he asked his parents for the ball they bought for him. Few minutes after his request, his parents came to the Balcony and threw the ball of HUMILITY to him. He was surprised and said that he demanded for a ball of self confidence, besides, we are rich, he added. His parents said to him, the ball of humility is durable, full of joy, and that is all you need for your personal training on the field of life. Out of anger, he raised the ball and kicked it against gravity. Few seconds afterwards, force of gravity push it back to him, and said he needs, but not the sky. He became absolutely infuriated and decided to kick the ball back to the sky, but gravity pull the ball away and he terribly hit the stone, and sustained a permanent injury. After much treatment, his leg began to decay and was amputated. Whenever he hears the word ‘goal' from the enthusiastic football fans, he begin to lament: MY MOTHER WAS RIGHT; MY FATHER WAS NOT WRONG; FORCE OF SPIRITUAL GRAVITY (HEAVEN) WAS ALSO RIGHT'
