Nought


Every morning you wake
All the love you can fake
All the hearts that you break
All the pain you can take
Every ache you can ache
Every noise you can make
All the mud you can rake
Every wager you stake

Every game that you play
All the insults you say
All the fears kept at bay
Every bill that you pay
Every time that you stray
Every hour in the day
All the prayers that you pray
Every time you delay

All the lies you can spin
Every battle you win
All the smiles you can grin
Every sin you can sin
Every mile you can walk
All the victims you stalk
All the words you can talk
Every blackboard you chalk

Every user you troll
All the votes you can poll
Every item you stole
And the dice that you roll
All the wages you earn
And the bridges you burn
All the heads that you turn
And the lessons you learn

Every place you can go
And the things you can know
All the chances you blow
All the tantrums you throw
All the times you say no
All the seeds that you sow
In the sun and the snow
As above so below

Each assignment you grade
Every meal you have made
All the deals you can trade
All the dues you have paid
Every role you have played
All your knowledge conveyed

As below so above
They are nought
Without love
