The Good Way Is One

The mountain goat

Is wary of hirelings

The prudent ant

Chooses its friends wisely


The bright eye

Is empowered to penetrate 

The good nose

Will not sniff in harm


The beautiful monkey

Is grateful for the narrow way 

The skillful spider

Builds where it matters


The dark night

Is always subject to light

The morning star

Heeds its owner's command


The hungry voice

Is content with the desert

The obedient ear

Works out the details
