A 'Theory of Nothing'

A 'Theory of Nothing'

A Poem by mick weller

In two hundred years
will the 'Theory of Everything'
have become the
'Theory of Nothing'
And will we all kneel and pray
with great superstition
to this great new
'Theory of Nothing'?

I hope it comes sooner than 200 years. We have become diseased with meaning and reason, and it cripples us. Dead people in Myanmar. Dead people in China. Dead people in Zimbabwe. Dead people everywhere. What good Science does when the mere basic human needs are failed to be ensured, only the greatest man knows. For the good of the world, western Academics need to turn some public attention toward the eradication of any simple suffering. We have become masters at factionalism, in it we can prosper and appear as masters, but masters do not hide, do they?

I'm not sure where any of that came from, but this poem affected my heart more than I wish to describe. It's one of those days where I cannot justify happiness.

Lol. Possibly.
Blunt, thought-provoking piece.
A vaccuum is kind of nothing, and space is a vaccuum and space blows my mind...so who knows.
Nice work.
