(I am guilty of this, and the “you” in this verse refers to me..)
On social media platforms everyone has a voice
To talk about one’s achievements and shiny toys
Since bragging about yourself vulgar appears
When you promote yourself you must give it a veneer
Of humility by crediting God, your family and friends
You are craving recognition, therefore you pretend
That you are grateful you’ve been given an opportunity
To serve fellow humans in some capacity
Even if your achievement benefits no one but you
You try to portray it is for the greater good too..
*
Bragging in a way that sounds neither pompous nor hollow
Takes some practice, you want the world to know
That you remain grounded despite your success
That you are not an achiever who is self-obsessed…
Passion...unbridled
