When does nothing become something?
When absence of thought becomes perception.
When does a curve becomes straight?
When distance becomes proximity
When does a lie becomes the truth?
When dark becomes light.
When does the defective become perfect?
When hate becomes love.
When does despair become hope?
When cruelty becomes kindness.
When does the lifeless become the living?
When the grave becomes humorous.
When does ignorance become intelligence?
When the past becomes the present
When does injustice become justice
When one believes they have won.
When?
The answer is in your question
When he leaves he becomes nothing
When he becomes nothing you have won
When you reverse what was won, it is now
There is no other time

I really like this poem. The structure i.e. question - answer, reminds me of a didactic poem I read long ago. "When does defective become perfect?...When hate becomes love." Excellent!
