Replaceable but not so understanding of life

Some make their way

through this life feeling they

are very important

where ever they stay

they are an integral part of the whole

they do have meaning

they do have soul

everyone else doesn’t matter a bit

the animals what are they

where do they sit

in the great scheme of things

that’s the factor of course

that’s the single most ignorant

thought,  so a horse

than runs and that falls

and that dies on the ground

is replaceable

surely

that what he has found

but each soul is unique

each one of us does

come here as someone

with that vital buzz

when we think they are

things

purely chattels, then we

are also replaceable

and that clearly

shows ignorance

sadly and arrogance too

its a hollow expression

that’s sadly not new

the worth of each of us

must not be withdrawn

or overlooked

and I am so very torn

telling you this

for those who believe

we are replaceable

why would they grieve

why would they love

why would they care

they are replaceable

they are not there
