Most Of Us Are Only Numbers Poem by Francis Duggan

Most of us are only numbers in folders in Government filing cabinets this is all we are
No different to a motor bike or to a motor car
Our existence to a very few only does seem to count
Have you ever felt as i do that your life to little does amount?
Perhaps i am negative for thinking in this way
But in this Human World we live in today
The more aggressive and ruthless are those who seem to succeed
So much for the saying 'the weak the Earth shall inherit' so much so indeed
Many of us are only numbers for the recognized few
This is a known fact and what is known is not new
Known by numbers and not names which is a sad thing
Though to their dreams of fame and good fortune the majority do cling
Yes numbers in folders in Government filing cabinets the most of us only are
No different to a motor bike or to a motor car.
