This poem is simple and beautifully written. I think that its meaning is pretty straight forward. Our society is self centered and tends to overlook things that don't apply to us. I love this poem because it speaks the truth.

I like this poem a lot.
I never really thought about the social context though. It's interesting, but not surprising. Human nature never really changes, most people (including myself..) are kinda self-centered.
To me this poem is very much about how everyone stands alone in grief; the worth of something that is lost, is only known and understood by the one who lost it.
