Billions and billions of people on the planet
None of them as important to yourself as you.
None of them as important to myself as me.
In my view, none of us are important in the
ever living and dying billions and billions.
Maybe of no more importance than the
10 quintillion insects crawling, hopping,
and flying all over and around the world.
It’s as if the numbers diminish us despite
our natural importance to ourselves.
It’s as if despite the events and dramas
in our lives, we matter little overall
except to ourselves and our preservation.
Bob Boyd
