When there is nothing to say
Try to say something,
For Nothing is only Nothing
And saying it will not help-

Saying something may give meaning to life
Even if what one says is not of great significance-
Saying nothing gives nothing

Saying this little something then
Is another small attempt at giving life meaning-

It may be nothing really and nothing in the end and after all
But for now it is a little something
And a little something is better than nothing
Sometimes maybe even now-
