a cynical look at how people who matter in our culture are treated
People Who Count

Their losses acknowledged
Their phone calls returned
Their birthdays remembered
And their needs discerned

Their jokes seen as funny
Their stories have meaning
Their opinions important
Regardless the leaning

Set me loose in a crowd
And I'll sort them out
I've been specially trained--
My own worth's in doubt
