Thus Spake Tao - (Triple Tanka)
Love cannot be bought
Peace cannot be commanded
Silence is the key -
When actions or the lack of
Speak out with silent wisdom
When man understands
All life has an equal part
Has a primal share
Then with unselfish ardor
Goes about his chosen work
Always outpouring
Never commanding silent
Not seeking greatness
Greatness lay in humbleness
A man's deeds speak for themselves
