Notes About The Poem

‘Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated’. Attributed to Confucius.
 

The Hippie and Confucius

The Hippie And Confucius

The sign said ‘Hippies Use Side Door’ but there was only one entrance or exit

            and a revolving door she ponders the conundrums sent for resolute resolution  

such a quandary to find the way now as she pauses when puzzled then checks it

      as it swings freely she wonders if life is straightforward or again she’s been conned 


A revolution she reflects on the human condition and what lies beyond

                   the sign post inside awaits her confusing decision this might be ‘confucian’

life could be so easy we’re the ones to make it complex unless we abscond                        

       decamp to true meaning so just walks round the door and is free once she legs it

Confucian poem until you unravel it and just push open that door.

Absolutely. I believe that the door is always there...
