Poem- “Be Vain to Grace”

“Be Vain to Grace”


Freedom is not “anything”.

But, you must know “something”.

Is that everything?

Well, it’s better than nothing.




The problem is still with us:


Freedom is not “anything” we think of.

But, you must know “something” when there’s feedback.

Is that “everything” or just a theory?

It’s better than nothing.

Of course, nobody says,


“I love nothing.”


People often want anything, something, or everything.

But, people can’t always get anything, something, or everything.

A human being does not have supernatural knowledge.

“Nothing” is a harsh word the vulgar and arrogant never want to hear.

Does freedom always have to be about anything, something, or everything?

Why can’t freedom just be “nothing” for us?

Just the wind can be nothing.

Can a human kiss a tornado?

It’s very hard to do.

Freedom can turn into an evil cause.

Let’s say, a man walks up to the stage and says,


“I love cancer!”


What does the audience do?

Members of the audience start booing and throwing tomatoes at him.

He gets stuck in a pile of tomatoes.

And, then, a reviewer writes a negative review and states:


“Tomatoes Cause Cancer for Hollywood”


My fictional headline would be funny!

But, my fiction would also be a good example of the dangers of freedom.

So many people fight for freedom.

But, a religious philosopher knows that “freedom” is never man’s deserving.

“Freedom” is often an accident waiting to happen until vanishing for change.
