Setting Yourself Free

Setting Yourself Free Searching exhaustively for the truth in everything one is taught by others. Extensively evaluating all things in order to find which path to take. Thoroughly questioning anything that one is informed by anyone, instead of being part of the host. Trusting that everyone has their own path of truth that they follow, however these paths might not be the right one for the individualist. Identifying the truths of life by thoroughly researching both sides of every fortune told by the raja whom is advised by his rani. Neither believing nor disbelieving one’s knowledge that he has acquired through attending the institution. Gathering data from fervently researching both pros and cons, while using the scientific method for truth finding. Yearning to analyze several paths of truth in order to find the best-fitting for one’s way. Overwhelming being inquisitive towards everything that is advised from a wino. Understanding the content of all things that one reads from a book, and learns for one’s milieu. Radically experimenting through all of life’s endeavors with hopes of finding at least one that will catch one’s eyes with grandeur. Syllogistically gathering information through questioning everyone that one meets. Enticing oneself while studying every ideology of the world with the passion of a zealot in order to obtain one’s own way of life. Laboriously diving into a diverse array of the fountains of knowledge and sifting through them until he finds the one that will help him prevail. Fanatically familiarizing oneself with the multitude of ideas that the world has to offer including science, philosophy, and religious belief. Frantically fusing one’s learned knowledge with his experiences of experimentation in life, to help him find proof. Ravaging through the pillars of light and truth while thoroughly investigating the words of every prophet, scientist, and philosopher. Expecting to either find a way of life that is sufficient enough to quench one’s thirst for knowledge or to simply live life through experience. Exploring the falsification of any truths that are mere opinions without any substantial evidence.

This poem must have been a labor of love - such a long title for this style and then trying to get the first and last letter of each line to match up with the title. Whew!

Indeed good sir, it definitely took quite a while to write and to figure out the beggining and ending letters. This form is called double acrostic however there is not a choice for that.

Dr. Ram, I am quite glad that you like this. The form is really double acrostic because it spells the titled out on both the left and the right side. It was my journey to becoming free from everything and finding my path of truth. This is one of my newest poems.
