Best Free Will Poems

Medicine Hat Appaloosa
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remember free will too has been gifted,
with freedom allied to fate's fickle choice.
Tendered words uttered still..now uplifted, 
God provides each one a life and a voice.

Ere life ebbs and scrimshaw scrolled hands beckon, 
find strength in Medicine Hat horse's paint.
Flesh prized and spirit...

Free Will

I’ve been around for a very long time.
I’ve done deeds that made the Devil shine.
I can build you up and I can tear you down.
I can poison your mind and make your soul drown.

I know all of man and I know them well.
In every...

Free will whose
An egoic ruse
Please excuse
Offered clues

The mind body enigma
An outer form we call jiva
Inner layer soul or Atma 
All within God or Paramatma

This preamble in place
The line of inquiry we face
From our core at an easy pace
Truth recognised solely by His grace

We the jiva...

Are we really free?
Free to chose to:
Go wherever we please? 
Do whatever we desire?
Be with whom we wish? 
Pick whichever thing we fancy?
Without coercion 
Without ever being obliged by an unseen force in 
A predetermined or predestined way?

How?  

How can we have free will...

Haiku #12, 079-12,080...............................................Free Will

One man tend zillions
images my heart can't fend
Flesh, bones, pure ashes

One ill demagogue
Demented beyond compare
Ran himself to hell.

What of "Free-Will," of which the prophets foretold?
A cruel little lie, bore of simple human design,
are our minds even capable, of the power to choose?
Or, are we blind sheep, being herded by the flock,
wrangled all together, just to be finally led astray?

Humankind seems to crave...

Oh my Lord, Free Will, Thou hast granted 
To all of us 

But 

Ourselves, used it, slaves of our passions
To become!

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...

A rill meanders by my shady tree
and vanishes into the morning mist.
Who guides it on its journey to the sea
as stream joins stream, with gravity's assist?
Free will or destiny? Unanswered still.
What guides a river's course? Deep mystery.
The fates, or God, or chance, or human will?...

Tim was the new judge in Deadwood Flat
Not really qualified, just a rancher at that
He first case was of the outlaw, Horace Slade
Caught red handed in a cattle raid

The jury took ten minutes to recommend the noose
Better than letting this rattlesnake loose.
Tim smoothed out his...

Drenched in tears, I wrench in response to the pain I sense.
Caused by wrong desirers, walls, guards, and the electric fence.
Put here to stop free choice by man,
To keep him from becoming all that he can.

To hold imprisoned, crushing hopes and dreams.
To inflict hurt and...

like steaming water seeps through the openings in the bottom of a colander
the wisdom of ages past is filtered by my conscious mind
leaving all but a few bits and pieces caught in the process

I am ashamed to only share the remnants of the astounding truth...
