Do As I Say
Some will tell you to do as
they say. They will condemn
many, saying there are no
exceptions.
And that is just the way it is.
If you listen to them, you will
begin to be convinced that they
are.
If you continue to listen, and
question (silently), then you
will see that they are not.
That there are exceptions for
them. Not for anyone else.
They are noise.
Do What I Say
Some seek power. The power over others.
They are not along the way of the way.
Do not be angered by them except when
they control others to believe in them.
Have pity: For they face the wrong way,
all the while proclaiming to know the way.
The way of the way is not noise.
Much of the way is that of humbleness.
Much of the way is foolishness.
Those that will admit only that all
others are fools, they are the only
true fool.
One sage bids all to listen to them
and to show that they are a fool.
Another sage sees this and then
says not, and knows what will happen.
And is saddened by the ones who will
not admit to being a fool.
They will then give into anger and
make the sage to be the fool.
And if you agree with the sage,
they will make you the fool.
The way of the way is for fools.
All are fools.
Do What Is Right
When the sage is laughed at by those
who seek power. They do not laugh
at what the sage says, or what the
sage is.
They laugh, because they fear that
the sage will expose them.
Laugh at the world. Laugh at your
own mistakes. Laugh at your own
fear.
For the sage can not be controlled
who laughs. Only pride can be
controlled by others. Laughter
can answer any argument by those
who seek power, and fame, and glory,
and violence.
For power, and fame, and glory and
violence only try to hold the sand
up against the fall of gravity.
Become the sage, show by silence to
others that control is an illusion.
Silence and laughter are siblings.
This is the way of the way.
