The World Keeps Spinning

The world keeps spinning

People think

 They’re so important

And that they’re needs

Are bigger than others

They think

 The world revolves

Around them

And that the planets

Are drawn to them

And that when they die

Everyone will drop what they’re doing

 And cry

But I have news for these people

I find it weird

 That when they do die

The whole world does not cry

It just keeps on spinning

And spinning

And spinning

And

The world goes on

And on

And on

Until

The memory that you

Even existed

Dies

And then

It’s as if

You never lived at all

And still the world keeps spinning
