Not


Repetitive is he who learns not Yet he who knows not, basks in the mistakes which are not So in saying, he who has not, appreciative will be his attitude With a multitude, but he who will not, believes not in self Understand, is what most can not, and probably shall not But illiterate soundin is he who aint not If I am, and he is and he is, but he's not His knot is beyond the point of untying-but it's not impossible Try this, take a chance, have no regrets-why not? The dummy denies stupidity unwittingly-the intellect proves OF ignorance he is capable not, by simple exploitation Not of an idiots error-but his failure to realize what is not If not for trees and oxygen, we would breathe not Sleep not we would, because of worries we need not Dream not is not he with no imagination But he who lives not in a universal reality of damnation Look not for what's to come and dwell not on what was Appreciate not the now, but the present which is a gift Uplifted is the man not with good fortune And the guy who smiles not isn't always melancholy Feeling not means not that one is emotionless It just shows that one cares not of a given situation Mindful of devastation causes hesitation due to deflation Of ones ego-and mediation between conscious and unconscious fails Leaving one more self conscious, yet conscious not of All other reasons for which not about one should complain Meaning be thankful not of what you've achieved But what's always been, not manmade yet useful to man As oxygen to a lung, be thankful for life
