Ad Nihilo

So somebody happened to post on /r/nihilism with an idea for a competition of nihilism, with the best poem rewarded with nothing, naturally. Quickly scooped this up from old remains so I'll have to polish it a bit down stream, but I felt confident enough to post it there-in.


Ad Nihilo

A simple moment not so far away
On a seemingly ordinary Monday
Existence promptly ceased to exist
Concept too desensitized to persist

I perceived my self mere electric
Synapses emergent as ego-centric
Wirings not built to last a forever
But to fulfill some temporary fever

History's greatest moments of glory
Deepest pits of whatever is unholy
Melded into an ill-defined convergence
Mundane goals inane just as brilliance

Whenever infinity ends I'll be present
As particles I shall vanish that advent
Quantum memories floating in a void
Lingering residues of us all, destroyed
