Significance [in response to Insignificance]

I am that drop in the sea
without whom nothing would exist.
 

I am that insignificant one
who defines all, forms all.
 

Without me there is but void,
an elongated expanse of nothingness.
 

I am he that is significant,
 

as are we all.

 

 

[Written in response to a poem by Bariza Umar (printed in a highschool publication) which concerned the insignificance of the individual. I retorted by defining the significance of each and every human making up the whole of humanity. Without each individual, a conglomerate cannot be formed. Without each individual responding and contributing on a micro-level, nothing can be achieved on the macro-level.]
