Freethinker (Medium Rare)

Gary Edward Geraci

Where has it taken you all these years?

To answer the question one must admit

He is hardly original and his fears,

No less slaked, give him away to submit.

On liberating roads full of his peers

Walk trendsetters, people of prose and wit.

With rarified air they breathe, fast to quit

The Law and Order of peace and good cheers.

 

The rethinker is not a deep thinker.

Believing himself to be free of rules

He brands his thoughts as from a freethinker.

In the grand scheme of things, he keeps with fools,

Ratified from religion they tinker,

Going down in the end without the Jewels.

    Agreed - no thought is actually free or totally new, it always comes from somewhere......

    Nice one, Gary.
