There is Nothing, There is Someone (new poem)

 

There is Nothing, There is Someone (new poem)
by Tim Kavi


there is nothing-

ness you say

but I think there is something!


there is war

in the world

but I say we must never give up hope!


there is longing

and loneliness

in the machine minds

of reduced humanity.


until one cries out for connection

there comes a new connection

a springing forth


there is hate and prejudice

all over the world

but I say there! is where

love and binding together

must heal!


there is sickness and pandemic

breeding grounds of fear

there is where we must transcend,

comfort, even ourselves

to live again.


to never be forgotten

to arise from the destruction

with wings of hope

beyond despair!


so, that is something

that is human!

That is what I see there!


in such a world

stand strong in love

for each other

and by each other


we are all we have

each other

to see us, get us,

through


survival of the fittest?

survival of those that love!
