The Most Important Thing in the World
The Most Important Thing in the World
The most important thing in the world
isn’t a viscous black ocean
or a million dead children.
The most important thing in the world
isn’t the world’s biggest con game
and its three billion marks
The most important thing in the world
isn’t four goals to one
but you knew that already
Or a country of ruined buildings
broken limbs after six months of rot
Or anything else you might have had on your mind the last time you decided to feel something between commercials
Everyone knows The most important thing in the world Is a shopkeeper’s window.
