Analysis of Insignificant Man

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)



Pales in comparison to anyone successful
Never was noticed his entire life
Women found him to be pitiful
Couldn't attract a wife

Beatles wrote a song about him
He was the real Nowhere man
As a poet couldn't sell a poem
Sadly felt overlooked in God's plan
