Importance

I am learning now
of my importance;
the part I play,
the impression I make.
We are all equal
in that aspect.
We all play a part.
We all make impressions.
It is important
that we recognize this fact;
that we must offer,
that we must aide.
Because of this
we must not judge,
by the color of skin
or by religion
or at all.
Remember,
we are all equal
with the same chance
as all others
and we can all fall
the same distance.
So, no one person
remains more important
than another.
