Free Will

Freedom? Freedom to do what? To leave, to speak, to act unrestrained, To protest, to oppose, to shame. Leave, because if love can't stop you Nothing will. Speak, with words that can Free you from my cell Act as if you never loved me Unrestrained as cruel as can be Feel free to protest And bring up the past Oppose my every defense Until the last Shame my hopeless endeavour At the top of your voice Scream at me "NEVER!" Your free to go, free to stay But free you are not to treat me this way.

But as you know ONLY GOD knows the truth, only GOD is Wise (Sophos) we are just “friends of wisdom”, Philos tis Sophias: Philosophers, but someone to be a philosopher, Alas, doesn't mean that Sophia considers him a friend of hers! GOD bless you my brother!
