Shu Ha Ri

A Tarnished Rule

#PopsHaiku

Shu Ha Ri

Following tradition

I memorize the dogma

Never questioning nor diverging

The way is clear and harsh

My steps and thought, straight

I follow the path

Rejecting tradition

I rebel against the dogma

And question all before me

As I come to the end of the path

To stop, deep in thought

On what is the way

Creating traditions

Without harsh dogma

Embracing questions and wonder

I forge a new, more beautiful path

I walk without listening to thought

And follow the Way
