What Mattters & What Does Not Poem by Stan Petrovich

What Mattters & What Does Not

Rating: 5.0


the bleeding baby seals
feeding the inuit are unimportant
the brokenlegged horse
lying & dying in the field at night
so frightened
is important
the deaththroes of greenland
matter
the squid i dissected in school is
unimportant
except i will never eat calamari ever
you are neither important nor unimportant
you matter

Very thought provoking little poem. Succinct; to the point. Hopefully others will take notice and minds will change.
