A
free man looks not to the sky
to
find a way to live or a reason to die.
depends
exclusively on him.
Only
slaves, dependent on divine whim
need
a cue to laugh or cry.
A
free man invokes no other name
when
giving the credit or placing the blame.
He
accepts full responsibility
for
all he is or ever can be.
Only cowards, so terrified of being free
Only cowards, so terrified of being free
make
any other claim.
A
free man allows chains of no kind
to
muddle the truth or place fetters on his mind.
He
seeks but to live and learn
forsaking
hearsay at every turn.
Only
idiots, thoroughly convinced rebels burn
are
otherwise inclined.
A
free man lives not in hope or dread
of
rewards or punishments after he is dead.
He believes this life is all we get
and
tries to make the best of it.
Only
fools, creating thrones and bottomless pits
can
see blood where none is shed.
