Humbly Exalted
Two guests
attend a banquet
Celebrating in delight
Dancing, feasting
Talking, singing
Everyone included.
One guest
was proud and
strong.
The other
meek and
feeble.
The first man
took his place
at the head of the table
Where the host belonged.
The latter one
sat in a corner spot
far away from the mirthful group.
Entering the dining hall,
the host was most displeased
for all he saw around him
was a disorganized fiasco!
"You there
Head of the table
That seat was reserved for others!"
And sheepishly,
the man got down
from his highfalutin perch.
Then the host's gaze
fell upon the lesser man
and he declared,
"Friend, don't sit so
dreadfully far away!
Come and take my seat of honor."
For everyone who exalts himself
will be humbled
and everyone who humbles himself
will be exalted.
