To be good is a good thing
But to be better than the other
Is pride and vanity
Makes you competitive
When one is young, pride & vanity
Make good ornaments
They help us win awards & rewards
Accolades, ovations
A place of celebration
On the stage, spot lights
So much praise, becomes a craze
We call it appreciation
It becomes an addiction
Then we work only to be acclaimed
Have name & fame
A place of pride in our tribe
But say the scribes, the ancient wise
Do grow & glow, achieve
Reach the outreach
Hoist your flag on heights
An endorsement of your might
Feel the joy & thrill of being you
Enjoy your skill like playing the flute
Defeating another is not your goal
Better to better yourself
Enjoy your skills, seek Masters to tranquil
Bloom like a beautiful flower
Spread fragrance like the spring shower
No flower outgrows another
It is its own miracle, its own power.
