Zero, nothing, that's what the world says,
Says I, but is it really true?
True nothingness is the void,
Void inky and black.
Black is also a nothing,
Nothing - absence of color,
Color not well liked, especially the skin,
Skin still covering a human
Humans pick on each other like vultures,
Vultures scavenging after the kill,
"Kill the zero!" The world chants,
Chants to each other,
Others buy the latest and greatest,
Greatest thing, service, whatever the world says,
Says I, "I don't care if I'm the zero."
Zero isn't for us. God didn't make them.
