Poetry #1 "Boldy Stand Erect"
What do you all think of this:
Boldly Stand Erect!
Jewish Books are for the Jews, And Jew Messiahs too. But if your not of Jewish blood, How can they be for you?
To make an Idol of a book, Is poison for the brain; A dying God upon a cross Is reason gone insane.
Beware of all the holy books And all the creeds and schools, And every law that man has made And all the golden rules.
"Laws" and "Rules" imposed on you From days of old renown, Are not meant for your "good" But for your crushing down.
Then dare to rend the chains that bind And to yourself be true. Dare to liberate your mind, from all things, old and new.
Always think your own thought, All other thoughts reject; Learn to use your own brain And Boldy stand erect.
--Ragnar Redbeard
