You say nothing
Tell me how this silence affects you
Tell me how you wonder if it affects me
Tell me how you will respond, asap
You say nothing
Tell me who you think about
Tell me who got your heart
Tell me who will ever get it, asap
You say nothing
Tell me what you

Nothing says so
A juxtaposition
separate and distinct
seemingly defying
what cannot be~
an argument
or an expression
or both or neither
nothing says so~~

What's left when there is nothing left
The stench of shame fills the air
Tears fallen choked her words
Laying in a pool of red
Her massa had stolen her innocence
Bruises decorated her already scarred flesh
A mark of ownership
A sinister smirk sends shivers
As the white man admires his coloured canvas
Pride engulfs him
Watching her struggle against the shackles
Her screams silenced by his hands around her

The fear of nothing changing
The rush of emotion stilled
The air once consumed by an undiluted energy
Now eerily quiet
Something lingers in the air
Justice?
No something louder but hidden
A violence so silent
It could go unnoticed by those who don't care to see
Those who choose wilful ignorance
The streets once crowded by protest
Now sits empty
Brought down from the

Nothing Is New
“Nothing is new
under the sun!” Sorry,
can’t buy that! Man ill fated then, to
dog-paddle eternally in pools of mediocrity -- never
destined to attain higher pinnacles of physical,
spiritual development? – cursed to always relive the
same themes, patterns; to struggle with repetitive
developmental flaws, manifesting as both inner and outer
soul corruption...rejecting unique
new arrangements, by refusing to alter
programmable psychic

Nothing
'Nothing works faster'
the advertisement read
'Nothing works better'
the adman said
I don't know about you
but if that's true
it's Nothing for me
Nothing's a keeper
not only that
it's also cheaper

An Unchanging Map of Nothing
an appointment
seeming as a
fork in a path
portending
dark or light..
it is a lingering
of time
so it seems
in an unchanging
map of nothing
which all of
these words
express~~

nothing is burning
only the summer heat
spreads its stifling waves
on my pony face, as a
smart haze,
hunting my craze
lazy, sticky heatwaves
hit my face
knock me
down
on the ground
like a drowsy fly
i open one eye,
i still can see its

Too lazy to leap from a frying pan?
He is a sloth said his neighbor, Fran.

We Have Nothing to Hide
Let's take a seat where chill winds blow
We don't care if our undies show
We have nothing to hide
Living on the wild side
Life's much more fun in the front row

Once I was told to respect every teacher
Today a

Where Nothing Happens
here, between myself and myself,
God dwells when
He flees the world.
I found Him once
in a forgotten loaf of bread
on the steps of a hospice,
in an old woman asking forgiveness
for simply living.
He did not ask who I am.
He touched my brow
and retreated back into the wound.
we do not think.
we defend ourselves from thoughts
as from a

I have nothing to die for.
If I die today, it will be nothing
If I live today, it will be for nothing
