I Sometimes Think Of All Those Apparently Insignificant People Poem by Miroslava Odalovic

Who never find place in snobbish minds too busy to notice them
While they are playing with their intellectual marbles
Of concepts polished and syllogisms winding endlessly to no end deductions
Of too much info without a place to really fit but can serve the purpose
Of a metaphor the more unusual the better I guess
I sometimes think that those apparently insignificant people
Live full lives on anonymous addresses and keep and cherish their loves
Their family their children their values that no commercial placing them into
Nostra picolla vita our little life can ever really touch or ring a bell at their door
Behind which they are having a great time playing cards they borrowed
From their neighbours for they have no money to buy ones for themselves
Watching tv reading having coffee and just sitting
I am thinking of so many others who forgot what sitting was all about
I am thinking of those who always fit themselves into -few- category
Which gives them the right to feel above nostra picola vita and
Place mediocrisis labels on ‘little people's' back as some kind of punishment
And complain about being misunderstood or blaming the marbles
For not being the colour they are supposed to be on a given day
They started to academically roll in and down their overburdened brain
Perhaps I'm too harsh on those who dedicated their lives to serve
Some higher purposes and I'm sorry if I sound like that
I am thinking of those whose higher purposes have nothing to do with service
Whose higher issues turned into colourful marbles simile stuck in their throats
As there was no good enough comparison to state how far a metaphor can go
Or how far syllogisms can deduce anything
And I know that among those bestowed with a high intelligence and gift
There are many who really want to serve most benevolently and without any second thoughts resting on any kind of reward but happiness for all the people and themselves
Even they can sometimes be seen as very good doctors when it comes to diagnosis
But equally helpless when it comes to healing those who just want to sit and play cards
Who aren't ill at all who never aspired to anything but happiness
