A Few Stray Poems
by Tom Woodard

 


Freedom

Only by being bound hand and foot,
Heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit,
To Jesus Christ, may we be truly free.
Freedom, as man defines freedom,
Is, by comparison, an impoverished
Existence in a dank, dark prison cell. 

The nearest thing to freedom, as man
Defines freedom, is anarchy;
The nearest thing to freedom, in the
Heavenly sense taught by God,
Is Heaven itself.
