The power of NOTHING

By diavolessa

This world is too empty of love
For he who knows how to hate

And if I loose control, would you mind?
Because I look for a war, to meet peace
Because I think of what I do, still
Remembering what I cease to be

Building a raft
Following a dream
A doctor’s appointment
Marijuana with tea
Love without a rubber
Living corpse

All they mean is
NOTHING
All they are is
NOTHING

But you scream
Till there is not more air
“I tell you what’s good”
“I tell you what’s bad”

In the end is this all worth?
Does NOTHNG mean anything?
Will it push me to the edge?

I do not know,
I will be enlighten
The day NOTHING takes you away….

    Interesting piece, in a world of dark, everything is nothing. In a world of light, everything means something. Good work, makes one think. S.
