Nothingness.

It's a vast expanse of land and ocean,
Infested with plants, beasts and men,
Surrounded by a canopy of nothingness,
Nothingness that they inhale and exhale.

Nothingness that they cannot see,
Nothingness that they think they feel,
Nothingness that resides in their heart,
Nothingness that tears them apart.

Nothingness that fills their lungs,
Nothingness that makes them believe they're alive,
Nothingness that they know nothing of,
Nothingness that they need to survive,

Nothingness that they know they are,
Nothingness that they can see by far,
Nothingness that they read in their eyes,
Nothingness in which they hide, they disguise.

Nothingness that their fingers can touch,
Nothingness that their minds cannot know,
Nothingness that blinds them all,
Nothingness that is as real as they are.
