Nugatory ... Small

Today's word is "nugatory" ... NOO-guh-tawr-ee ... of no real value; trifling; worthless. (Dictionary.com)

Small
Of all the teeny, tiny bugs,
And insects in the ground,
Are any nugatory ... 
Or are they useful where they're found?

Do not all creatures have a home
In Mother Nature's scheme?
Even the ridiculous ...
So, what then does it mean?

If every bird and mammal,
Has personality and place,
Why would we be any different,
Left untouched by this strange grace?
