Emptiness

There is no light without darkness
No substance without shadow
No life without birth
No death without life
Without something there is nothing

Without God there is no man
Without man there is no woman
Without woman there are no children
Without children there is no future
Without these there is nothing

We don’t want emptiness, we want something
To get these, have hope
To have hope, believe
Without belief there is nothing
Nothing means emptiness
Fill this emptiness up


Joanne Kennedy April 1999
