Let Down

NOBODY LIKES NOTHING
I CERTAINLY WISH WITH ALL MY HEART
THAT IT DID NOT EXIST
BUT WISHING IS NOT ENOUGH
WE LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD
WHERE NOTHING DOES EXIST
WE CANNOT JUST DISINVENT IT
NOTHING IS NOT COMPREHENSIBLE
NEITHER YOU NOR I
HAVE ANY HOPE OF UNDERSTANDING
JUST WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT DOES
IT IS HARD TO KNOW IF NOTHING
IS ACTUALLY NOTHING
AND THUS DIFFICULT TO KNOW
IF A POLICY OF DOING NOTHING IS SUCCESSFUL
NOTHING
HOWEVER EFFECTIVE IT MAY HAVE PROVED UP
TO THE PRESENT CAN HARDLY
CONTINUE TO DO SO INDEFINITELY
IF I HAD TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN THE CONTINUED POSSIBILITY
OF NOTHING HAPPENING
AND OF DOING NOTHING
I WOULD UNQUESTIONABLY
CHOOSE THE LATTER OR THE FORMER.
