Choose To Be Free [rev.] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Sceptics can debunk any idea because
EVERYTHING is TRUE, every assertion
and all its opposites are simultaneously
true equally - only belief provides proof

Thus previous assumptions determine
what we will accept; it's liberating truth
forever setting me doubt-free, refutation
of everything ever believed or assumed

Predilections, personal tastes are what
we make truth in life; personality and a
uniqueness in character resonate with
what being means; megalomaniacs if

Preferring to die for convictions - or just
to be happy; since everything is true it's
our choice which truth to implement; I'm
happy and free, nobody fools me again

Since I know our lives are determined by
personal choice and its conditions, limits
and horizons, so now it makes sense why
childhood suffocates: ancestors' beliefs

Are forced upon us; it's wonderful to watch
people opposed in belief interacting, those
most vociferous usually triumph - while I
know only our inner disposition convinces

It's cool to escape scientific & theological
snares, never to be limited again or forced
role plays required for another's power or
ever need to win arguments; it's amazing

Watching others struggle within man-made
manacles they chose for themselves; but I
am happy to know they, at any time, can
choose to be free…
