Nothing

Nothing, nothing and nothing
that is your share
But you’re allowed to envy
and that should be enough, believe me,
for that is more
than you deserve
So much for wealth

And so much for beauty:
Nothing, nothing and nothing,
that is your share
But you’re allowed to worry about it
and that means a lot

You have nothing, nothing and nothing
to expect
and that is your happiness
So much for happiness

(Ivan Wernisch)
