Convict Serving Life Term In Joliet Prison, Illinois

Sometime when you are feeling important
Sometime when you ego's in bloom
Sometime when you take it for granted
You are the best qualified person in the room
Sometime when you feel that your going
Would leave an unfillable hole
Just follow this simple instruction and see
How it humbles your soul:

Take a bucket and fill it with water
Put your hand in it up to the wrist
Pull your hand out and the hole that's remaining
Is the measure of how you'll be missed.

The moral of this quoted example
(As quoted by poets anonymous):
be proud of yourself but remember
there is no indispensable one.
