Not, Nots Or Less Poem by Luke Easter

Father; untie the knots that are in my mind,
My heart and my life the nots I cannot find,
Remove all these have nots making me blind,
Erase the have nots and the not enough time.

Those do nots, the better nots, make them stop,
Erase the will nots, may nots,911 call the cops,
Most of all the am nots just because they are not,
I’ll not settle at the bottom, You said I am the top.

Might nots that would find a home in my heart,
Should I allow the could nots to tear me apart,
Release me from the would nots, for yes I can,
Because this not the reason You created man.

Backspace nots I have allowed to hold me back,
Delete the not to prosper, it’s okay to live in lack,
That I am not good enough so settle where I’m at,
Not to shed the extra weight oh forever to be fat.

Do not waste time at the parlor I’ll always be ugly,
I can not change my looks there’s a curse on me,
Do not waste the phone call he will not be my date,
She will not waste time no matter how much I make.

I will not allow a doubter to dictate what I cannot do,
Greater in me is He than the spirit that is not in you,
The weapon will not prosper although it might form,
1st John 4: 4, Isaiah 54: 17 isn’t fantasy be forewarned.

You have not because you ask not, I ask for the best,
Not to be swayed by surroundings I will pass the test,
With do-less, clue-less & use-less, I will not associate,
I'll not allow the love of God to turn to jealousy or hate.

However, you are not remembering who formed me,
The Lord did not create me for failure just my victory,
You can't stop the will of Whom made heaven & earth,
So I will not stop because not you but God gave birth.
