Credit goes to the head.

A war won, credit goes to the king.

A tomb built, credit is the owner’s.

A game won, credit is the captain’s.

A task is done, credit goes to the chief.

The credit is fixed on someone atop

And sometimes snatched by someone lower,

The effect being of collective efforts.

Other participants do not figure.

Humility requires the head to downplay

His contribution in others’ favour.

Reality requires ones to give credit

To the contributors down the line as well.
