Freedom in responsibility
Galatians 5:1
Christian Liberty
5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free,
and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Freedom in Responsibility
You want to be free to do what you see.
You want no restrictions to bind you.
I know you to be free for what you ought to be
but it is just yourself … who guides you.
Desires and wishes … self-centered in kisses
on your own hand in the center of your will.
You’re so energetic … almost magnetic
as you mark everything … on God’s bill.
There is no change as in value you arrange
every item into your own conception.
Interpreted by self … then stacked in a shelf
as the ends justified the means in perception.
The choices you make … as in habit you take
all the things you think you deserve.
Makes you wonder why … others don’t try
to understand your freedom and nerve.
Jan Wienen
