The Nothing phenomenon

The bribe that never helped,
The palms that were never greased,
The house that never decided n’y thing,
The monsoon that never brought anything,
The Left that was never right,
The Right that left nothing,
The blasts that never spared anyone,
The school that never taught n’y thing,
The university that produced nothing,
The hospital that never saved anyone,
The nothing that so dominated,
The never that popped up forever,
The eternity that ended before the dusk,
The infinity visible before the horizon,
The greatness that became taboo,
The coterie that defined greatness,
The silence that became approval,
The approval that became bottleneck,
Infectious it was infectious it will be,
The disease called, Metamorphosis.
