cold pity

Something cannot be nothing
Nothing cannot be something
Yet
A question of reality
As seen in the visible galaxy
Offers an analogy
Black holes are frozen no-thank-yous
Mathematicians and prodigies
Count back fifteen-billion odd years
They agree there’s nothing like you
Or me
Yet
Anthropic balance begins to crack
If the earth was a tad closer to the sun
Life on earth would not have begun
Two great forces coexist
If the gravitational field was too high
Fraction of a millisecond our world exists
Then it desists
Yet
Some people call on god
For others, he’s not up to the job
We are the perfect fit
For existence – and that’s it
Why rely on religion for that?
How big is your heart?
An aggregate of animal fats.
Yet
Life speaks through you
Born of supernovae and stars
We flew
Pity turns on pity
A lump in my throat unreal
Yet

A journey beyond. That lump
A journey beyond. That lump in your throat might contain another cosmos...

This is deep philosophy the opening lines already are profound. Your reasoning to me is like a medical doctor versus a man of divinity and in apparent contradicition but in the end both are right.

Nothing is better than a big juicy steak.
A piece of dry bread is better than nothing.

This comes from a more recent film it's one of those post-apocolypse stories I think. Your introduction "something cannot be nothing, nothing cannot be something" is fascinating. Your story is very interesting I think there are many original ideas.
& Cheers!
