Zero

Were God the disposer
disposing what I propose
then he disposes himself;
and if not,
then I propose
and I dispose
in which event
I dispose God
and become God myself -
were this God the disposer
when again disposing....
see the churn
or the fallacy?
The churn producing
poison at one end
same look as of nectar...
Just look
this cycle
put down on canvas
that is..
hmm
is nothing but
a big zero
or a small one
doesn't matter which
as long as
zero
is a zero
and remains one
sorry remains
not one but zero-
the zero inventor
is God
For math and
for all computing-
a dot and a dash

So far
okay
but the issue
is when
the zero gets you
hanging
to its circumference
itself
when you fall
it is another
circumference..
but stop
where did we start?
about God ?
oh! forget him
have peace
attain nirvana

Will see him
when he comes
and says

He will dispose
of what
man proposes..

Comments on this Poem

Comment The poet has given a metaphysical touch to zero.Really a splendid touch! The paradox "zero is a zero but one---"is marvellous.The effective elaboration upon "Man proposes, God disposes" is food for thought.An attemt to encapsulate a big doctrine into a short spell of poem is praiseworty.A nice poem
