Some Are Islands Poem by Andy Caldwell

few men are islands 
alone and isolate
with due respect to Mr. Dunn
their deaths diminish no one
as atolls on the sea
eventually lost to erosion
someday each will not be
never noticed by society
but one amongst the many
will change the world in time
by leaving us their critical thoughts 
in rhyme meter and poetry
posthumously
upon on their deaths
their bell rings silently
they view society objectively 
because they are uninvolved
