Nothing

I decided to write a poem about "Nothing"
no thing,
anything,
naught 
although I ought
to write about
love, cars or money but
loves gonna leave, 
cars will break down
and money...
well money is kinda funny so
I got nothing

Nada for prada,
no offerings,
or diamonds
for real bling bling,
I mean while writing this poem
my girl asked me something, so when I replied
"what?" she said, Oh nothing!

See people tend to think that if it's none existing
life's cool,
but we live in a society where existing
defines our priorities,
our eulogies and
autobiographies
like if any body should ever write my life story, I refuse to open pages of the roads I've paved and see
Nothing!

I was born second child of 8 after mom completed
her third birth, confined to a hood with people constantly saying, " you're gonna be just like your dad....
Nothing 

But he died and left me with
nothing,
but memories of a man which I called dad
that lead to nowhere, 
just living with aspirations of being a poet

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
