Patti Masterman - Minus or Plus

The world is zero, nada, zilch:
For everything cancels out the other;

Negative, positive, stay the poles-
Exactly equal to one quantum,

And either side, everything slides,
In the balance hangs equilibrium,

The conundrum is the key,
To the fate of you and me,

As undecided in quintessence,
The cosmos whirls its eternal question.

(But if nonbeing, you'd wish to discuss-
Simply add one minus or plus)
