And the little one, a feeble kitchen slave, whispered to themself:
“Why would the Nobody cast away God?”
For they had seen Him trampled, mocked, forgotten.
They remembered when the world laughed at Him, saying:
“Nobody would care.”
“Nobody will see.”
“Who is that man? He would never dare speak, he’s a Nobody.”
“Who will take his word? He’s practically a Nobody.”
And so the Nobody was cast aside, as a pebble in the dust,
as a beggar ignored at the gate,
as silence passed over in haste.
He had only God to lean on,
a phantasm, a shadow, a name.
But when even God proved hollow,
when the holy veil was torn away-
then the Nobody rose,
clothed in rejection, crowned in neglect,
and found in the ruin of all regard
the seed of His dominion.
