Procrastinate Extinction By Understanding
It is imperative to observe constantly
What is high and low, a mountain or a valley
Thin and wide, far away and nearby
A truth or a lie, dead or alive
To reach the end of knowledge
Is to turn away victory
To deny survival amidst the pain of living
Believing what is easy to grasp comfortably
Tending to see pictures that are whole
Rather than to dive into details felt by one's soul
To consider, record, or study abroad
Aids ultimately in order to solve
Balance is what the prudent ultimately seeks
Strictness, with trust, courage, and love
Spiritual philosophy is not enough
Although fun over which to ponder
Overwhelming tidbits leaves one to wonder,
To work on resisting immediate life
And Discover how to be perfect only inside.
