ABOUT LAOZI AND SOME OF MY POEMS

I am requesting the readers of this blog to try to review some writings of Laozi, the Chinese founder of Daoism and the very first writer on this planet who wrote extensively, in an organized way, about libertarian and liberal ideals and ideas, by clicking this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laozi . Thanks.

The following are original poems of mine. Please read these poems:

"A Sleepy Afternoon"

An afternoon without any beat nor rhyme;
An abstinence from a sweet nap.
Trying to draw out a good time,
He read one book and started to laugh!
He later vowed to take a nap.

"The Horse And The Freedom"

A horse saw dragonflies freely
Playing in the fields, smoothly
Flying without any bondage.
Into a big and wide cottage
The horse's master went. The horse swiftly
And fiercely embraced freedom.
The ropes had forgotten
To tie the horse from a tree.
A big clog of slavery
Was broken by a horse.
Such was the horse's bravery
To kiss the face of freedom.
Freedom is now smiling
At the horse's courage.
Such a horse is now truly free;
He is running and roaming easily.

"A Lesson From A Nightmare"

There, had gone astray
They who didn't sway
To analyze their maps,
Nor asked nature's guidance
To lead them in proper paths
Out of the ghastly jungle.
All they did among themselves was
To wrangle and further wrangle.
Such a thing happened in someone's nightmare.
Like joyful dreams, sometimes nightmares do come true.
Sometimes the truth knocks strangely at you.

"Right After A Thunderstorm"

The tall rains that had fallen turned into floods;
The sun escaped from the clutches of the dark clouds.
The day's darkness melted away.
The dragonflies started to play
An athletic game for a shiny day.

"Jason Walks"

Jason walks to attain
A dimension of freedom from
Being tagged as insane.
Jason walks briskly to explore
Realms he had never seen before.
He dreams while walking;
He walks while dreaming;
He meditates while walking.
He prays silently along the urban streets,
Where he exhibits daily his walking feats.

Jason is not insane.
He walks for several hours
A day on streets near his house,
Just to show his longing for a home,
Which he thought he has never gained
In his current lifetime.
A home should not be prison for his articulate mind;
It should be a free zone and an abode which is kind
To the expressons of his mind.

ABOUT ASHOKA THE GREAT AND LAOZI

January 8, 2008.

The U.N. Org should truly champion, that is through peaceful and lawful means, religious tolerance and respect for all human rights and civil liberties in this world. The U.N. Org can inspire people all over this world to read the writings and edicts of such heroes like Ashoka, Laozi, Mahavira, Wang Yangming and Jean Jacques Rousseau. The U.N. Org can create study-groups all over this world to promote the writings and ideas of such mentioned heroes who then, during their respective lifetimes as such, championed religious tolerance and respect for all human rights and civil liberties, through peaceful and lawful means, all over this world. The U.N. Org can do such task now.

I would have to request to the readers of this message to read the summarized biographies of Ashoka the Great and Laozi at the Wikipedia web page. Such summarized biographies also have some reviews about the basic ideas of Ashoka the Great and Laozi.

The following aresome excerpts about such summarized biographies of Ashoka the Great and Laozi at the Wikipedia:

On Ashoka the Great. Ashoka (Devanāgarī: अशोकः, IAST: Aśokaḥ, IPA: [aɕoːkə(hə)], Prakrit Imperial title: Devanampriya Priyadarsi (Devanāgarī: देवानांप्रिय प्रियदर्शी), "He who is the beloved of the Gods and who regards everyone amiably") and Dhamma (Devanāgarī: धम्मः), "Lawful, Religious,
Righteous") (304 BC – 232 BC) was an Indian emperor, of the Maurya Dynasty who ruled from
273 BC to 232 BC. Often cited as one of India's greatest emperors, Ashoka reigned over most
of present-day India after a number of military conquests. His empire stretched from
present-day Afghanistan and parts of Persia in the west, to the present-day Bengal and Assam
states of India in the east, and as far south as the Mysore state. His reign was
headquartered in Magadha (present-day Bihar state of India). He embraced Buddhism from the prevalent Vedic tradition after witnessing the mass deaths of the war of Kalinga, which he
himself had waged out of a desire for conquest. He was later dedicated in the propagation of
Buddhism across Asia and established monuments marking several significant sites in the life
of Gautama Buddha.

His name "aśoka" means "without sorrow" in Sanskrit. In his edicts, he is referred to as
Devānāmpriya (Devanāgarī: देवानांप्रिय)/Devānaṃpiya or "The Beloved Of The Gods", and
Priyadarśin (Devanāgarī: प्रियदर्शी)/Piyadassī or "He who regards everyone amiably".
Science fiction novelist H. G. Wells wrote of Ashoka:
In the history of the world there have been thousands of kings and emperors who called
themselves 'their highnesses,' 'their majesties,' and 'their exalted majesties' and so on.
They shone for a brief moment, and as quickly disappeared. But Ashoka shines and shines
brightly like a bright star, even unto this day.
Along with the Edicts of Ashoka, his legend is related in the later 2nd century Aśokāvadāna
("Narrative of Ashoka") and Divyāvadāna ("Divine narrative"), and in the Sinhalese text
Mahavamsa. An emblem excavated from his empire is today the national emblem of India.

On Laozi.

There are many popular accounts of Laozi's lifetime, though facts and myths are impossible to separate regarding him. He is traditionally regarded as an older contemporary of Confucius, but modern scholarship places him centuries later or questions if he ever existed as an individual. Laozi is traditionally regarded as the author of the Dao De Jing, though its authorship has been debated throughout history.[2][3][4]
An early account of his life was the biography by Sima Qian which seemed incoherent to some scholars but can not be disproved.[5][6]
In legends, he was conceived when his mother gazed upon a falling star. It is said that he stayed in the womb and matured for sixty-two years. He was born when his mother leaned against a plum tree. He emerged a grown man with a full grey beard and long earlobes, which are a sign of wisdom and long life.[7][8]
According to popular biographies, he worked as the Keeper of the Archives for the royal court of Chou. This allowed him broad access to the works of the Yellow Emperor and other classics of the time. Laozi never opened a formal school. Nonetheless, he attracted a large number of students and loyal disciples. There are numerous variations of a story depicting Confucius consulting Laozi about rituals.[9][10]
Laozi is said to have married and had a son named Tsung, who was a celebrated soldier. A large number of people trace their lineage back to Laozi, as the T'ang Dynasty did. Many, or all, of the lineages may be inaccurate. However, they are a testament to the impact of Laozi on Chinese culture.[11]
Political theorists influenced by Laozi have advocated humility in leadership and a restrained approach to statecraft, either for ethical and pacifist reasons, or for tactical ends. In a different context, various anti-authoritarian movements have embraced the Laozi teachings on the power of the weak.[33]
The economist Murray N. Rothbard suggests that Laozi was the first libertarian, likening Laozi's ideas on government to F.A. Hayek's theory of spontaneous order.[34][35] Similarly, the Cato Institute's David Boaz includes passages from the Tao Te Ching in his 1997 book The Libertarian Reader.

The readers of this message can view some summarized biographies of such mentioned heroes at these web pages:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laozi .

Other on-line encyclopedias also have their biographies and reviews about their writings and ideas. Both Ashoka the Great and Laozi championed religious tolerance and respect for all human rights and civil liberties, through peaceful and lawful means, all over this world. Therefore, the U.N. Org should create study-groups all over this world to promote the writings and ideas of such mentioned heroes. The U.N. Org can do such task now.

Let us, the human citizens of this world, promote and champion religious tolerance and respect and security for all human rights and civil liberties, through peaceful and lawful means, all over this world.
