Analysis of Nothing Is True
Nothing can be fully traced; the steps
were made, but when, and what was the reason?
Nobody knows. The causes, they perhaps
have been altered by the blunt mind’s treason
that randomly stacks, lavishly seasons.
No certainty exists, and wrongly we rely
on memory. What’s in front of the eye?
We add colors to all prints we look at.
None in fact knows ̶ there is no black nor white.
Nothing is clear of what we caused or met.
