What consequence am I <br />in this vast world? <br />Do I even presume to think that <br />my existence matters? <br />When I am gone, <br />will anyone weep? <br />Will they say, <br />'Woe to us all that lost such a one? ' <br />Will they fall to their knees, <br />pull at their hair in anguish, <br />and rain tears of grief? <br />Will my name be uttered long after <br />I leave this world? <br />Or will the soft whisper die in the wind <br />as if I never was and had never been? <br />What consequence am I <br />in this vast world? <br />No more than you. <br />No more than he. <br />For once the dust has settled, <br />no one will even remember me.<br /><br />Crystal Bradley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/little-consequence/
