From inside its cage, The Talk of Freedom
Sells an Ever-Lasting Lie,
Just like a bird who's singing tales
Of flying to a wingless Sky.
"You can be free, you can, you can!"
The story says in many ways,
While all the time the Sun just
Keeps on giving out her warming rays.
"It's within reach... a few more steps...
Just over the horizon...
Do not give up! Do NOT lose sight
Of the goal you've set your eyes on."
As Sun and Sky look on perplexed
At the myriad confusion,
Yet another tale emerges
Just to add to the confusion.
"If you really want to get rid of misery and suffering then you will have to understand - you don't have a self. Then it will be not just a small relief but a tremendous relief." Osho
