Slaves.
It is said that we are slaves
Each in his own way!
Owing to social tradition?
Due to religious instruction?
Is it a lack of moral courage?
That we are slaves
I don't deny
But
This I know:
Each
Is what he is,
Decides
As he decides
Does
As he does.
The function
Of the Soul
That chooses
Paths to follow
IS
Man's greatest strength.
If we are slaves
It's by our choice -
We've exercised our wills.
FREEDOM
Is no more than this!
