The Amoral

If your foe now sets the rules aside

and with honor's code will not abide,

you must negate this ill-won state

and, fair or foul, must turn the tide.

 

 Enlightenment {Satori Tercet Zen}

You must face a threat!

Fear produces prompt regret...

stay calm, don’t abet.

                       Threats

A snake, a wasp, a foe's vague threat

should caution your next move, and yet,

show no fear that they may attack,

and you will not their bluff abet.

 

                   

 

Decisions {Satori Haiku}

Always be aware!

Make decisions always fair...

blunders best be rare.

 

Easter

If you would honor God this day,

learn his commandments and obey.

There are but ten with equal weight,

but one addresses never hate.

Remember this, “Thou shall not kill,”

and all of them with love fulfill.

 

                  My Life

When I reflect on adult life,

I thank God for my plaudits stored.

For when ennui brings with it strife,

acclaim can bring back sweet accord.

Applause can light the darkest days

and will protect me from malaise.

Tranquility {Satori Zen}

Strive to be content.

You must rarely anger vent...

tranquil life present.
