On lao tzu ch. 16

PEACE

When your neck snaps

like an awakening,

Jerking you back as a

cur on a leash about to

roll in something dead,

You are reminded.

Progress does not flow

from wallowing

in a Lazyboy.

You growl in protest.

This world is suffering.

Only emptiness is peace.

- Tao, Ch. 16
