O GOD! LET ME BE MUNDANELY
UNIMPORTANT!
Yes, the importance of being
important is much less
Than cultivating the rare virtues
of sublime goodness!
The importance of being a
triumphant in Chess
Is not so important as winning the
interminable Life’s Race!
Yes, the importance of being a
sycophantic Orator is much less
Than deriving, from practising bitter-sweet
restraint, eternal solace!
The importance of amassing
transitory, exhaustible wealth is much less
Than despite being ragged and poor,
putting on an invaluably Decent Dress!
Yes, the importance of being materialistically best is much less
Than, to attain celestial Rest,
when He does bounteously bless!
The importance of being an
affluent, but fleeting and greedy guest
Is much less important than lasting
Contentment’s lustrous Taste!
O God! Let me be mundanely
unimportant to feel Thy Blissful Divine Importance
Alas! But for which, any other
so-called importance sheds essence and substance!
