Greatness lies in being simple, not complex and elusive.
CONCEITED GREATNESS


Some people speak in riddles
And think they are too great.
To speak in simple words they,
Do often hesitate.

They talk of lofty things but
When questioned and collared,
To answer simple questions,
They are never bothered.

They seem to be thinking that
A man is great only
As long as he can maintain
An aura unearthly.

I am a simple soul and
In my heart I so feel:
Know as much as you can but
Share it and don’t conceal.
