the bragging


When you came from a poor background
Living the hardship of life every day
Learning how life could be tough at times
The experience will help you in later years

The hardship of life
Never for a minute you should forget
How you struggle to live every day
How you see your parents suffered silently

Yet there are those who forget
The poor background in a village or town
When they go to big cities
They brag how rich they are

They forget the roots of their lives
They forget they haven't made it
In all pretences they brag about
How they strike the mother's lode!

It is better to stay simple
It is better to stay humble
Why want to brag when you have nothing?
In this world of money minded people?
