Somebody, Everybody, Anybody and Nobody

“I am somebody”, said the Somebody
“I am everybody” said the Everybody
“So what? You are nobody to me,” said Somebody to Everybody.
Everybody thought of the Somebody. 
“Everybody is Somebody to Somebody (else)”, said Everybody.  
“So what? Everybody means Nobody,” Somebody. 
“Everybody means a lot.”  asserted Everybody 
“Then Who is Nobody?” Both intrigued. 
“I am Somebody; You are Everybody.” Said Everybody
“No I am the Somebody” averred Somebody
“Okey You are Somebody and I am Everybody.”
“Then, whose is this Nobody?”
“Nobody has Nobody, HA! HA!” Both sed to themselves. 
If Somebody thinks, “I am only the Somebody.” 
And Everybody thinks, “Everybody is Somebody to Somebody.”
Then Somebody wouldn’t be there to say, “I am Somebody.”
Anybody can become Somebody someday.
So, Somebody does not matter to Anybody. 
Then the Everybody becomes Somebody any way, any day. 
Anybody becomes Somebody someway? Or anyway?
Not by anyway, by cook or crook? 
Then that Somebody will become Nobody. 
And Everybody will remain as Everybody to Everybody. 
Both Somebody and Everybody will be known as Nobody. 
And, and Nobody knows Anybody - Somebody, Everybody and Nobody. 
Who are you? Somebody? Everybody? Anybody? or Nobody?  
Someday Everybody is Somebody.
Everyday Somebody is Everybody.
One day Anybody becomes Somebody.
All the days Anybody becomes Nobody
And Anybody becomes Everybody because
Anybody wants to be Somebody, Not Nobody.
