something or nothing? post-christmas nihilism. a momentary inspiration that resulted in the following poem:
the nihilist
I’m making a nihilist
I’m checking me twice
(Still trying to find out
If I’m “naughty or nice”)
If life is just futile
And nothing has mattered –
Won’t it have been pointless
When all brains are scattered?
If cities should crumble
And the planet implode
And all life-forms perish –
Will we reap what we sowed?
If Galaxies dwindle
Down the drain of back-holes
And stars are all swallowed
Along with our souls
If the dust of the Cosmos
Is vacuumed away
Leaving Space clean and tidy
On that final day
Then if it was Nothing
From whence all things came,
To that singular Point
All returns once again
