Fruit of wisdom, prove of a nobleman
The way of true kings, dukes, lords, and grandees
Simplicity to the core, lavished in etiquette
Salutes the old and peers, for reciprocity is the pathway to respect

Valued in the rich, cos a poor man's humility is taken for timidity
Camouflaging like a chameleon
Evidence of true knowledge in abundance
For only fools exaggerate themselves

Its value lies in its rarity
Never seen in the trivial many, only found in the vital few
Applaudable, remarkable, what great character it is
It talks little but shows action in great deeds

Allows its tales to be told by others
Blows not its own trumpet
Avoids unnecessary show of potential
Benevolent in its style and magnanimous to all
Does good things not for cognizance, but for the love of it

Gentle like a dove
Best friends with thank you, complements and appreciation
Sends aids and charity to the needy, yet stays anonymous
Saves the world, conquers the enemy
Stands as the hero, yet masquerades itself clandestinely
