Nothing From Something Poem by Rayan Ali

The world fell asleep
When the flames rose up
Every dark faded away
When every light came in
Deaths were rejected
When lives were given
Lies were hidden
When the feelings came out
Tears were turned away
When all smiles were brought
The rains were over
When the skies could see us
Those lazy days coming
Our way were turned back
When knowledge was what we aimed
The shadows went forth
When the sun shone
Violence could no longer speak
When the voices of laughter
Flowed up into the air
All betrayals were over
When promises were made
Every curse was destroyed
When beliefs were formed
And this was the time
When one could live
A more hopeful life
But now, we expect
When there’s nothing left
So that nothing comes from something.
