You thought being educated
Makes you important
When it didn’t you thought
Being well employed does
When it didn’t you believed
Being a do-gooder would help
When it didn’t you presumed
Being a cynic does
When it didn’t you decided
Being a nihilist would come in handy, but
Nothing would ever make you important
Your importance lies in
Accepting you never can be important
All you can dream of is being
As unimportant as you can be.
