Freeddom Of The Soul Poem by Thomas Dooley

We give up on life when we think we are right
Only looking for a fight as the mind lives in the uneducated night

Freedom of the soul is more than religion.
It is the understanding of peace and how to embrace it and take hold.
When there is love between all human beings is when we are free.

We give up on life when we seek attention.
Everything you say or do, is proof your blind to your own reflection.

Freedom of the soul is more than emotions.
Thinking there untamed binding them up in chemical controls
When living life is about searching and finding

We give up on life when we have no goals.
Sacrifice for the greater good never gets old.

Freedom of the soul is more than an accomplishment.
Ignoring the complex parts of life as simple solutions are bought and sold
If you don't reach out to feel you just stumble in the dark

We give up on life when there is no love.
The hero sits alone, looking down from above.

Freedom of the soul is more than a physical act.
A single emotion considered an activity dose does not make us whole.
Turning to a blank page does mean nothing is there; it means there is purity.

We give up on life when there is no movement.
When we forget our passions and just stop, there is no improvement.

Freedom of the soul is more than action.
Children are the commitment to unconditional love that never gets old.
The recipe is a lot of education, and discipline of the mind is life fulfillment.
