Zero Or Nothing

I find myself
Contemplating nonsense
Like the conundrums
Of Zero and Nothing
I say
There is nothing in Zero
Before nor after.

As for Nothing
There was something
Before nothing
Hence!
The statement
"Sorry there's nothing left,
No more!

Comeback another day
Not come back tomorrow
For like a Zero
there's no tomorrow

Cause when one wakes
In a morning
You still seeking tomorrow
Which is just another Zero
Searching for something

To have lost something you loved never leaves you with a zero. Sweet memories last till the mind no longer functions.

Put the zeros to $1,000,000 n you have lots, not that i'll ever reach it. Be content with what you got and what God gives you, all is good, and all you need is given from him. Your whole life is in his hands, to the end.,and then onward eternally.

Dear William, You poem prompted me to write again. Thank you my friend.

REFORMED ZERO'S

I used to think I was a zero.
Why? My dad told me so.
He said I would never graduate High School.
He told me I was nothing, a jerk, and a ZERO!

However, in Our Heavenly Father's eyes we are priceless.
We are told in the Good Book to be more like Him.
Even St. Paul, who was once Saul was a ZERO to society.
He was a cold blooded murderer who was not thought of kindly

Then one day St. Paul woke up and changed his Zero life
He committed his heart and soul to Our Savior Jesus Christ
Today we recall St. Paul as one of the BEST apostles of all
He wrote a good part of the Bible for our reading pleasure
This Zero is NOW a Saint that millions revere and treasure!

Now me, once a total Zero went on to be a Major in the US service.
I proved my dad wrong, I earned a doctorate to make him nervous!
But there is one thing that means more than anything to me.
It's that my Father in Heaven and I both agree!
Love cannot be seen but Jesus provides Love if we answer His call
Our Lord Jesus is Truly Eternal Agape Love
He died for all of us and He gave us His all.

So when you feel life is a bunch of Zero's
Think of how precious and valuable you are in His eyes!
You may feel like a Zero today..
But with Jesus on your side that will all go away!
In the end
You will win!
Eternal life with Him in Heaven!

Amen, my friend,

John Michael

Funny as hell...Pondering zero will drive you nuts.
Put the zero down and slowly back away!!

William, I have spent many a sleepless night pondering this "nothing". I think we need a candy bar called a "Nothing Bar", we coud say it taste like nothing, ha! When asked by a mate what one is eating, one could respond "Nothing Honey".
Hey, check out my " The Great What Was, Something From Nothing" I wrote a while back if you like, kinda addresses the idea.

Is not nothing something? Let's zero in on that. It's kind of like zero sum budgeting… A license to do whatever we want with nothing in our budget.

An interesting take on the two words makes for an interesting poem. I think you are on to "something". John

My kind of poetry, William. Today I feel possessed by that ache within my heart that there is nothing left . . . Eh . . . But I know, deep down there is plenty left my friend. I have lost much, but I know peace, even if it is haunted.
