1416

Where is the Way of Joy for human-kind,

The truth that goes beyond the damning law,

The No, the blank refusal where we find

Hope dashed and Faith reduced to little more

Than Rules which serve to batter down and bind

A love forever flowing for the poor?

Cut through the red tape, let the Torah go,

Seek the Law whose truth cannot be heard;

Throw off the shackles, let the ideas flow

Beyond the cage of language where the word

Seeks to stultify what Love would grow;

Then as Babel's  disparate voices fall

The Way of Joy may fill the hearts of all.
