Action Speaks Louder Than Words Poem by Francis Duggan

That action speaks louder than words ever true
Leave it to others to praise you if of praise you are due
Quite boring the braggarts of every public bar
Who enjoy telling others of how marvelous they are
Though self promoters are people one does meet every day
Self praise is no praise as the wise one does say
The we are great type every day one does meet
At every community gathering for attention with each other they do compete
It is not saying anything that is any way that is new
That down to earth people nowadays are of the few
So many all too willing their own praises to sing
Humility nowadays is becoming an endangered thing
So many nowadays competing for renown
There are many of them Worldwide in Every town.
