Crumbs
The world is a loaf of bread
Each slice a single domain
Carefully interwoven with thread
Too complex to explain
It has an upper crust
With a rich warm smack
Then there are the parts with dust
Oh how much they lack
Despite the complex style
Of the giant loaf of bread
It isn’t mean and vile
It is quite widespread
Despite all the mold
The bread is better as a whole
Its value much greater than gold
Even parts that resemble coal
It is the staple food of life
Without it all would go wrong
No need for a bread knife
Let the happiness prolong
It takes a lot to get the bread just right
Each dot of flour must do its job
This doesn’t happen overnight
It’s not just merely a large blob
What makes a loaf stand out
Does it have the right flavor
Is it all throughout
Is it something one would savor
In the end there is nothing
At least not much that meets the eye
Absence of something stunning
But there’s a lot that you deny
The most amazing part of all
Each individual piece
Deserves a curtain call
For none will ever cease
Small tidbits are the most important
Something more that it becomes
Never are they discordant
Don’t forget the crumbs
