ex nihilo nihil fit
By Kurashu
In the beginning, there was nothing.
From nothing sprung the nothing of darkness.
From nothing springs nothing; from darkness springs all things.
Without light there is darkness; without darkness there is nothing.
After darkness there was light.
From darkness sprung the allthing of luminosity.
From luminosity sprung sight; from sight sprung fear.
Without light there is no fear; without fear, there is no death.
After light, there was fear, there was hate.
From sight sprung fear, sprung animosity.
From animosity sprung sin; from sin sprung death.
Without light there is no death; without darkness, there is nothing.
After death is nothing.
From nothing springs nothing.
From humanity springs nothing.

Lovely nihilistic words! Reminds me when Kerouac said, "there is no world...sometimes I'm walking outside I can see right through the ground." Very philosophical and maybe there is great truth to this.
