To be truly free

By Rabbi Berel Wein

"The Torah's discipline frees us from the slavery of our very nature....Knowledge of that elementary fact of life grants freedom of perspective and eventual freedom of soul and spirit to that person. "
trapped in an occupied mind
tell me how does it feel
to cheerleader a fixed game?
all people not chosen by G_d are scalawags
or the Christian message
choose Jesus as your personal savior
or be damned to eternal fire and brimstone
occupation occurring mid brain
short circuiting the balance between
balancing checkbook and compassion
misfires create blowbacks
proverbial Catch 22's
paradox creates conundrums
commandments denies free will
Holy Cow for God's Sake
the trapped mind is fearful to behold
fascism is having all the answers
there is documentation
that God's his'en or her'en self
changed his'en/her'in's mind
on more than one occasion and always
for compassionate reasons
human nature, un perverted is
sentient.
