Nothing is nothing more what we think of nothing else.
People wonder at what that could be.
But when they start doing that,
nothing becomes something other than nothing.
It becomes something to think about; something to speak about.

But what just is nothing?
What explanation can you give for it?
Is it what sleeping rocks dream about?
Or is it what teenagers spend time doing?

Some say the universe came from nothing
Others say, it came out of nothing as the work of a great something.
So what is nothing?
Please don't say a word, for if you do nothing ceases to be.
Your silence says nothing.
But then again your silence is itself something.

What just is nothing?
Here is a head scratcher like no other!
Well, I suppose nothing is nothing more nothing else.
Oh boy, are you satisfied with that?
where nothing is, something is.
As long as there is something, nothing cannot be.
It cannot be because it is nothing;
A product of no one's imagination.
Think nothing
Speak nothing
'cause there is something 'bout you that makes nothing meaningless
and something 'bout everything that makes it all worthwhile.
All hail the ultimate something that underlies everything else.
