Nothing Is Better Than Something! Poem by Md. Ziaul Haque

Nothing is better than something,
The words being so weighty can't even be ignored by a King,
At times we feel relieved getting something,
While sometimes the very something equals to nothing.

Hence satisfaction is relative entirely,
And the human needs work as a driving force constantly,
Into nothing and something we fall like playing hide and seek,
Where no one literally loses, everyone is the winner alike.

Should we hail nothing? It depends on the individual choice,
Or should we hail something? Some after getting it rejoice.


-The title of this poem is a bit ambiguous- it gives the impression that 'nothing' itself is better than 'something' and it also indicates that there is no thing better than 'something'. Sometimes, in life, we become happy after achieving something, but there are some moments where nothingness can bring happiness to us. For instance, a poor mother's heart is filled up with ecstasy when she sees her children having food even though she has not eaten anything yet and doesn't let them know that she is starving. However, I am a supporter of 'something'. Hope you like the poem.
