I am the master of nothing,
In a city that doesn't exist,
In a land that never was,
Yet as no one I persist.
I am the master of everything,
That you can never see,
My domain stretches outwards,
To a nonexistent sea.
I am the master of something,
Within this paradox bubble,
Outside the inside matrix,
An enigma within a puzzle.
I am the master of nothing,
Of space and voids and such,
You might think that it's impressive,
But it isn't very much.
I am the master of yesterday,
Of all that's past and gone,
The snows that have all melted,
And every forgotten song.
I am the master of nothing,
No joy, no pain, I'm free,
I stopped living long, long ago,
I'm dead you know, you see?

Poetry: Nothing
by Terrence Aym
I am the master of nothing,
In a city that doesn't exist,
In a land that never was,
Yet as no one I persist.
I am the master
by Steven Spad
I could always be right
win ever argument and fight
but if I don't gain love
I gain nothing, I gain nothing
I could know it
Nothing needs to be said
When in life I am dead
No obituary need be read
About the good or evil I spread
For there is nothing
by Toney Eugene
Nothing
The seconds go by and my life slips away
Drifting into an eternal darkness which begins today
The beating of my heart
Nothing is only ever just bluffing.
Nothing sits for too long on its ride,
so tired of doing nothing, left untried.
Nothing
