Does this make sense

hzugman

The things in life you may achieve

Depend a lot on what you believe

What is not and what is so

Becomes at last on what you know.

    Very well expressed. Good job!

    • hzugman

      Thanx for the comment but to tell you the truth I'm not sure what the poem is saying.

    • peto

      I think the 1st 2 lines say
      Believe in your goals and yourself enough and you will achieve them
      And 2nd part
      When we discover what is and what is not we find the truth
      Best I can come up with my friend
      Good to see a write from you

        Thanx, Peto. I'm not sure where I was going with this either - something about belief vs truth.

        I do believe that much of what one is able to accomplish is based upon their self beliefs but I have to say the last two lines have confused me a bit.

          Thanx for the comment SB. Me too. The poem just sort of came to me in one small package. Thanx for your honesty.

                A conundrum that has been with me a very long time.... Could read, to make more sense:

                That that is is that that is not is not Is not that so?

                That's better.... lost the plot there for a moment.....
