Morbid

A morbid thought suddenly dawned over me and i found it interesting.
what thought is this you might ask..

ppl do nice things on birthdays.
be extra nice to the birthday kid.
send the kid presents, get a cake, go for a meal.
ppl wishes the kid happy birthday.
the friends do.
the organizers do.
the acquantainces do.
the passerbys do.
some wish in celebration.
some wish in formality.
some wish in mimicry.
everyone be/plays nice.
it seems to be conspired in such a manner one wat or another..

but has it ever been that..
for one birthday
everyone conspired to perfectly ignore the birthday kid?
and everyone means literally anyone.
no one sees.
no one hears.
no one acknowledges.
no one remembers.
it's as if the kid had never ever existed.

this would be interesting to see.
cos in this:
we either see truely, how lonely this soul is..
or on the contrary how rich in spirit this soul is,
that so many would go to such lengths for him/her.
it would be a sight to behold,
and a lifetime to remember.

it'd feel better if its significance was simply detached.
