“Alone in the Dark”
Henry was bad today, But he’s been good before
And each day ends the same… Nothing less, and nothing more.
No matter what Henry’s done, whether it was wrong or right
He still eats a nice dinner, and gets to sleep in his bed at night.
As long as he’s not caught, then he can do what he wants
And it’s really up to him, if he lets his conscience haunts.
‘Cuz, Santa still brought him presents, even if Santa ain’t really real
And it makes Henry sit alone in the dark, wondering what to feel.
SO, if it don’t matter what he do, and he gets rewarded either way
Then the game is rigged, and Henry knows he doesn’t have to play.

“Just Another Day Closer to Death”
WAKE UP! WAKE UP!, because it’s a bright sunny day! :-)
Gotta face the world for your sins because it’s time to pay
It’s just another day closer to your eventual death,
Grudgingly trudging ever forward to your final last breath.
So Good Morning Mr. Lamp, my anthropomorphic friend!
I know you’ll give me light until the very end
Good morning Admiral Pillows, you hold my weary head
I hope you’ll have that job until the day I am dead
Ahoy! Lt. Windows, Baron von Blankie, even Capt. Colonel Clock
That my only friends are possessions shouldn’t come as a shock.
Because in geological terms, humans are but a blip
So what does it matter if you let relationships slip?
It’s all meaningless distractions to occupy our time
Until we’re dead in the ground, rotting away into slime.
But ya gotta fill the void with sumthin’! Might as well just live.
So go wake up and have a life, ‘cuz it’s all ya got to give.

“The Idea of Nothingness”
8 year old Gustavo Ramirez stares out into the darkness of his bedroom, struggling to sleep, and he feels his mind wander into the blackness…
He imagines floating through space, passing the different galaxies along the way, and wonders how it all came to be— How did we get here? How did the universe get created? What was the beginning? We’re “something” now… but was it nothing before?
Was the nothing like this, just inky darkness? No… darkness is something. A nothing would be like… umm…
And Gustavo feels his brain hit a snag, jerking the smooth wandering thought process to a stop.
What is nothing.
He has had these thoughts in passing moments before, but only now, in the dark stillness of night, does he have the chance to fully explore them without distraction. He can feel the empty sensation of nothingness creep into his soul, folding his brain in half as he simply tries to picture the concept.
Images of his pets dying and him and his family being dead and forgotten as everything he knows and loves ultimately joining the forgotten nothingness of life all flash in his mind’s eye as he tries to grasp onto the idea of nothingness… and fails.
He can feel the concept come closer, though, more clear, if he can just concentrate harder and remove any sense of light and darkness and sound and air and anything that is something…
Gustavo wakes up groggy and confused the next morning, his alarm blaring. He hurries to run upstairs before his siblings eat the last of the box of cereal, and he shakes the box sadly as he realizes he was too late.
While eating half a’ bowl of cereal crumbs and the last splash of milk, Gustavo decides that it was better than nothing.
