Nothing More

Nothing More

A Poem by Dennis Shanaberg
"

Another one of those songs that just leaves you thinking...leastways I can barely figure it out

"

Thought is nothing more than thoughts
Until they are heard.
Fire is nothing more than flames
Until they have burned.
Nothing is something
If nothing is naught.
And something means nothing
Unless it’s been taught.

Fire and flames.
Words are too blame
For the good and the ugly.
Usually just good for nothing.

Flames are afire
From guys we call sire.
Nothing more than bad liars.
All this thought makes my head so damned tired.

Thought is nothing more than thoughts
Until they are heard.
Fire is nothing more than flames
Until they have burned.
Nothing is something
If nothing is naught.
And something means nothing
Unless it’s been taught.

Love isn’t fire,
Until there is a spark.
Too touch fire is always pain,
So let’s dance as beasts all over again.

Beasts can’t feel love
Or so we believe
But it’s what we call those who conspire.
So those who don’t love are all deceit.

Thoughts are nothing more than thought
If you hadn’t heard.
Flames are nothing more than fire
And they all will burn.
Something is nothing
Means something is naught.
And nothing means something
Because it cannot be taught.

Flames are afire
But everyone sees them going out.
That’s because we are all bad liars
But I think that I might be the one to shout.
