Loving the Tao of Laozi
When women were without say or station
whether at birth ("on the ground") or widowed
Always under the authority of men or a son
Master Kong was advised, Go with the flow -WU-
By none other than the "old boy" Lao Tzu
Schools and civil service can take one thus far
Know deeply that bees and flowers arise mutually
And the Tao is having your say, without saying much
"The Tao that can be spoken, is not the eternal Tao"
O speak thou rivers and waters, teach us to flow!
Seeking the lowest places, that human beings abhor
To lead without being seen as a leader
Avoid complaining about rulers, Master Kong
Thank God, the Toa is not the LOGOS
Although the Tao goes everywhere, even to kings
"It loves and nourishes all things … lays no claim."
No LORD and Creator is the Tao; undefined
Only the way to be free of KARMA, selfish action
To Master Kong's YANG, Laozi is the complementary YIN
The Buddha discovered every cause hides a dozen causes
