In the dojo of the mind, let’s explore a truth of the martial kind
I am going to take down the wicked with the moves that blind
To the war drums I, am a slave, so I, am going to rock it out but not get played
In this fission of the new, you’ve gotta too have good morals too
With great power comes great responsibly
Like an avatar with a new ability
Never cast the first stone the Christ rabbi spoke true
As he was well aware of his Buddha nature too
In the shining truth so as to dig up evil up by the root
Well that is the discipline of the earth so where is the fruit?
The fruit of the tree is Karma, can you see?
I can Adam and eve it
Takes Taoist sensitivity to achieve it
Let the dharma fly and we can relate
Enjoy the moves but don’t hold on to hate
Martial science can reveal a way to the paradox of the fist and foot way
Peace though fighting
A crack of lightening
Expresses the chi and it can be frightening
The flow of pure thought as physical inner play
Universally tripping in a wheel of life way
The truth of work and art and strife
Too art and logic then be wed
To this strange investment I can bear testament
Never use the skills for revenge
As the Jedi mind skills get their inflection though intention
The sith way miss uses the chi and seek to enslave both you and me
Still if you listen, think and explore the way you can put supreme Tao upon display
But don’t play at discord but bring respect
Like the boxing rings top boys you can be a prospect
Towards the divine you can always refine
Are you surf in the Tao
Or just killing time
