Is it the only path
to walk
and see what
you see,
burdened by your
sins
and judgments
or could I venture
on my own,
even if it is a lonely
pilgrimage,
or if I read the wrong
book
and meet
the wrong people,
lost souls who don’t
bear the cross or
the star or the hammer
or the crescent moon
perhaps, I’ll find my way,
a misguided dreamer
taking a road of less shame,
a journey without rules,
feet and hands unbound.

Very nice!
thanks
You know, I always think that freedom is expensive because there are rules everywhere. Neither nature, fellow humans nor the law can allow someone to do whatever he likes.
Nice poem, you looked on the bright side of it.
Good points. There are rules of nature and social rules besides religious rules. I often wonder if freedom is a state of mind.
It almost is.
Traveling the path less traveled… now that’s a true soldier of life!
Brave and wise words🙏
Hard but rewarding. 🙂
