Copla Treinta Y Siete This Bad Guy World

COPLA TREINTA Y SIETE: This Bad Guy World

When wrongdoing piles up on top
Bad Guys strut and yell out like hell:
Whose fault’s within

Withdrawal sloth makes the worst cop
Nature shirks to balance rights well:
Yang lets Yin win

Either abandon all to Dao
Or seize the seasons by the lock:
Life comes alive

Winter solstice arms the Yang’s bow
Zhen’s lightning thunder bolts spring shock:
Let Yang Guys thrive

Hi Rodgers! Glad you found it true and love it to boot. Guess you're familiar with the Chinese allusions: Yi Jing and Taoist references. I'm sure you do. The only thing I can't make out is whether you mean just this 37th copla or all in the series. In any case, thanks very much. Here's a hand out to shake. Every good wish. Wignesan
