Their Lives Are Important To Them Poem by Francis Duggan

What is for the billionaire is for you too
Their lives are important to them as yours is to you
Whether you are of the exclusive club or in dire poverty
Your life is important to you is how it seems to me
Everybody's life is important to them this is how it should be
The billionaire's life is no more important than the homeless one or the refugee
Eventually every life's journey does come to an end
Everyone's life is important to them why otherwise pretend
Though the praises of celebrities the impressionable does sing
The inequality between people is a human created thing
Inequality between humans is based on a lie
Since all of us are born to eventually die
Your life is as important to you as my life is to me
And the millionaire's life is important to the millionaire is how it seems to be.
