(Un)Importance

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.
