Freedom

Can I take a liberty?

Can I see, how I fall short

Of perfection?

Be perfect.

Then, take a liberty.

Until then,

Stay humble,

Carry your own weight,

As well as that of your brother,

And learn the ways of love,

Which are easy and whose

Burden is light.

They will appear heavy,

Because I do not see as God sees.

But all in good time.

When I am ready,

I will see clearly.

Until then,

I must suffer and die

To the old self,

So I can be born again anew.
