Indispensable Man
Poetry about the worth of every single human being whether or not that person believes his or her worth is appreciated or recognized.
Some time when you are feeling important
Some time when your ego is in bloom
Some time when you take it for granted
You are the best qualified in the room
Some time when you feel that your going
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow this simple instruction
and see how it humbles your soul
Take a bucket and fill it with water
Put your hand in it up to the wrist
Pull it out, and the hole that is remaining
Is a measure of how you much will be missed
Splash all you please when you enter
You can stir up the water galore
But stop, and you will find in a minute
That it looks quite the same as before
The moral in this quaint example is
Just do the best that you can!
Be proud of yourself, but remember:
there is no Indispensable Man!
