    Content To Be
    He opened his eyes
    And saw nothing
    He was not afraid
    For the nothing he felt
    was everything
    He yearned
    His world so full
    Of what they told him
    He should have
    Yet nothing but nothing
    Is what gave him everything
    All of his everything
    Tried to overcome his need
    For nothing
    And so he traveled
    Looking for something
    And forgot about nothing
    Empty a shell he felt
    When he thought about everything
    He had and the thought
    And found it was nothing
    Compared to what he wanted
    The day he woke up
    And saw nothing at all
    was everything to him

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
