Nothing

Location

Theirs was a generation that, upon looking at society, saw nothing;

When speaking, communicated nothing;

When attending the events of fanatic speakers, heard nothing;

When searching for truths, found nothing;

When examining great works of art, felt nothing;

When attending class, learned nothing;

When experimenting, concluded nothing;

When sleeping, dreamt nothing;

When given information, thought nothing;

When listening to impassioned music, experienced nothing;

When staring up at the stars, hoped for nothing;

When told to plan ahead, aspired to nothing;

When living, strived for nothing;

And, finally, when they turned to peer into themselves, to gaze upon what it was they were made of, they were shocked to find…

Nothing.
