Nothing

some will claim

(many, actually

too many)

that God is not needed

that all we are

that all we see

that all we know

came from nothing

which exploded

that our treasured words

“In the beginning God created

the heavens and the earth”

should actually be

“In the beginning nothing exploded

and everything came by as a result”

but if you have a nothing

you don’t have anything

so in truth

these don’t start with nothing

but with a something

slightly more than nothing

which serves merely to replace

the eternal, self-existent God

with eternal, self-existent stuff

both of which reside

beyond the realm of reason
