Might those unknown truly humble
be the sole ‘adults’ these days
those who rarely are heard grumble
those few who’d rather shun praise?

Tailwinds push truculently
on many roads avaricious
wide, they gleam luminously
leading to dead-ends pernicious

Shouldn’t those faking being modest
be deserving of our wrath?
These days invasive as sawdust
as they’re clogging up life’s path!

Ends up flashy futility
when we push too hard for success?

-‘adult’ = an emotionally, mentally & socially mature person – seen many recently?
-truculent = brutally harsh; cruel
