A riddle I bring along,
asking you which is your view:
is zero plus zero, nothing
and the sum of ones, two?
If brothers enhance their deed
truly heeding saintly call,
what they ask, oh love concedes:
adding 'nothings' garners all.
And if peers truly attune,
choosing union as their song,
in the forging of their tune,
space among them is all gone.
The plus portrays the essence
also seen in the times sign,
geometry shows recompense
that leads us to the sublime.
The question forever parting
in love, I ask you anew
is zero plus zero, nothing
and the sum of ones, two?
One plus one, oh larger one
zero plus zero, a brilliant whole,
one plus one, oh clear unity
zero plus zero, real community.

Two little
saints
do not add naught,
but the unending embrace of all,
a real friendship does not ring two
but faithful balance, rapture anew.
Zero plus zero does not yield nil
but the eternal conducting drill,
one plus one is never oh two
oneness of love, actions in view.
The zero power,
oh, grand design,
one needs the zero for solid clan,
nines in a dance, row all along
loyal inflection, compassion lifelong.
One plus one, oh larger one
zero plus zero, a brilliant whole,
one plus one, oh clear unity
zero plus zero, real community.
Oh, David Breaux
brother of love,
Karim Abou Najm
I am forever your fan.
