Heaven of freedom


Like the bird set free from an alluring
cage, ready to fly into the wide white
skies of unlimited freedom, let the caged
brethren of our earth find themselves

in the lands of liberty breathing the cool
and consoling winds of joy and peace.
As the pigeon poised to taste the sweet
delights of being on its own, away from

the confining restraints of bondage and
slavery, let me and my fellowmen
escape the chains of the irrational,
the unimaginative, and the unsympathetic,

into a heaven of freedom where we
think and act with sense and truth
as our guiding lights, the Supreme
Master, our ruling star, and none other.
