Analysis of With the cloak of humility
WITH THE CLOAK OF HUMILITY
Not blowing trumpets of titles
Not raising the flag of medals
Not drumming the rolling achievements
Not using the mouth of conceitedness
Stepping down to reach the ordinary
Sharing wisdom into the ground streaming level
Plunge with servility to save the drowned
Searching the truth of true compassion
Clean their deeds by exemplifying our within
Respect them with high notes of value
Paint them with good imagery of dignity
Attune them with the music of harmony and friendships
Swim with their burdens with camaraderie
Remove clothes of vanity and share the openness of hearts
Soak with the reality and touch the lives under our skin
With our bare hands, let us eat our pride to join with others
with the cloak of HUMILITY
