How Can Nothing Be Nothing?

How can nothing be nothing when there is always something?

And if there is nothing, there is always one thing.

Where something exists,

There is always nothing;

And if nothing exists,

There is always something.

How can something be nothing, when something exists?

Nothing can exist without something,

And something can't exist without nothing?

There is always an opposite to nothing,

And there is always an opposite to something;

So when we say there is nothing,

There is value in something,

Therefore, we can't always have nothing,

In a world where there is always something.

Take a look around you,

When you say you have nothing;

Make little things count,

And you'll always find something.
