They share 'one' thing in common, <br />With truth and reality. <br />Nothing! <br /> <br />And when they separate from each other, <br />A 'nothingness' is spread... <br />That is what the surveys have found! <br /> <br />However... <br />Some dispute the results of this... <br />Believing conflicts are appropriate <br />For constant fighting and throwing tantrum fits. <br />Beating each other like dead horses, <br />To the ground! <br />Until there's 'nothing' resisted existing... <br />And restoring the 'nothingness' <br />As if having this 'is' the ultimate crown. <br /> <br />'And the winner of chaos with conflicts? <br />Those misunderstandings that come to visit? <br />To debate issues of what is right or wrong? <br />Who is off key singing what song... <br />All take a back seat to sit! ' <br /> <br />Beaten and tired of all of it... <br />Is admitted! <br /> <br />The winner of this mixture of tricks, <br />When all has been trounced to bits... <br />Is nothing! <br /> <br />Frowns have diminished, <br />And gone are worries of 'ups' and 'downs'. <br />When absolutely 'nothing' arrives... <br />Peace arises and surrounds! <br /> <br />Beaten and tired of all of it... <br />Is admitted! <br />And the quietness of 'nothing', <br />Has power to remove frowns <br />Plastered on familiar clowns!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
