When you wake up in the morning Tell yourself the people I deal with today Will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant dishonest, jealous And surly They are like this cause they can’t Tell good from evil But I have seen the beauty of good And the ugliness of evil And have recognized that the wrongdoer has a Nature related to my own Not of the same blood or birth But the same mind And possessing a share of the divine Not of the same blood or birth But the same mind And possessing a share of the divine And so none of them can hurt me No one can implicate me in ugliness Nor can I feel angry at my relative Or hate him we were born to work Together like feet, hands, and eyes Like the two rows of teeth upper and lower To obstruct each other is unnatural To feel anger at someone To turn your back on him These are obstructions yo Discard your thirst for books So you won’t die in bitterness But in cheerfulness and truth Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Discard your thirst for books So you won’t die in bitterness But in cheerfulness and truth Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Discard your thirst for books So you won’t die in bitterness But in cheerfulness and truth Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Whatever this is that I am, it Is flesh, a little spirit, an intelligence Throw away your books Stop letting yourself be distracted That is not allowed Instead, as if you were dying right now Despise your flesh! A mess of blood, pieces of bone A woven tangle of nerves, veins, arteries Consider what the spirit is air And never the same air But vomited out and gulped In again every instant Finally the intelligence Think of it this way you are an old man Stop allowing your mind to be a slave To be jerked about by selfish impulses To kick against fate and the present And to mistrust the future What is divine is full of Providence Even chance is not divorced from nature From the inweaving and enfolding of things Governed by Providence Everything proceeds from it And then there is necessity and the Needs of the whole world Of which you are a part Whatever the nature of the whole does And whatever serves to maintain it Is good for every part of nature The world is maintained by change In the elements and in The things they compose That should be enough for you Treat it as an axiom (Treat it as an axiom) Discard your thirst for books So you won’t die in bitterness But in cheerfulness and truth Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Discard your thirst for books So you won’t die in bitterness But in cheerfulness and truth Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Discard your thirst for books So you won’t die in bitterness But in cheerfulness and truth Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Oh! What a glorious thing Waking up in the morning, baby oh! What a glorious thing Yes, I have a whole day! Hey! Oh! What a glorious thing Waking up in the morning, baby oh oh! What a glorious thing Yes, I have a whole day! Discard your thirst for books So you won’t die in bitterness But in cheerfulness and truth Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Discard your thirst for books So you won’t die in bitterness But in cheerfulness and truth Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Grateful to the gods from the Bottom of your heart Remember how long you’ve been Putting this off How many extensions the Gods gave you And you didn’t use them At some point you have to recognize what World it is that you belong to What power rules it and from What source you spring That there is a limit to The time assigned to you And if you don’t use it to Free yourself it will be gone and will never Return
