Nothing
Nothing
After a battle lasting manys ages,
The Devil won,
And he said to god
(who had been is Maker):
"Lord,
We are about to witness the unmaking of Creation
By my hand.
I would not wish you
to think me cruel,
So I beg you, take three things
From this world before I destroy it.
Three things, and the will be
wiped away"
God thought for alittle time.
and at last he said:
"No, there is nothing."
The Devil was surprised.
"Not even you, Lord?" he said.
and God said:
"No. Not even me."
