be humble the soul is free


Why do leaders forget their roots?
Are they felt so ashamed that they came from poor family?
When these leaders get into the power game
And get all the wealth to enrich them
They suddenly paint a different scene in their lives

They want to rub shoulders with the rich and famous
They want the grassroots to kowtow to them
They want the obedience from the poor
One wave these poor folks come running

In my school and scouting days
We were taught to be humble always
And always remember your root
Where one was before rich or poor
We are there for reasons to learn

Don’t always forget the life journey
Along the way one may learn and acquire many
Do it with conscious clear, a smile and a heart of gold
A service to humanity; a soul for one’s world

Sami forgets his root
Finally he suffers his fools
The downward spiral will be hard for him
Now he hasn’t learned the humility
He still talks big……….

Tunku advices long ago
‘Be nice to people on your way up
You will meet them on your way down’
In my scouting days
‘Be humble all the times’
