Nothing is so difficult...

We've been hosting the Wordplay night at the Living Room, which is quite popular. They even got me to contribute a poem. The topic that night was: Something or Nothing. Artsy fartsy but fun.

My quick contribution...

Nothing is as difficult as
Starting something
From nothing,

With your hands
Your hope
Your high aspirations,

And yet so many people do --
The lofty dreams
Of something achieved,

Achieved for who?

Who is judging this Nothing competition?
This "I wanna be known for something" event
We participate in without end,

Day after day
Over and over
Without fail we know, but don't know
The outcome?

How come Nothing is so difficult?
