This poem came from a Grade 5 readers "America I". This "dare to proclaim the truth, be right" theme really reminds me of TTP. We have the truth, we know the truth, we have the answers, we know the answers, we have a responsibility to tell the truth to others despite scoffing and persecution. We must press on to fight the greatest battle of all time, the cosmic battle. Outsiders are like captives, chained and bound by deceits of the world, lies. We must be the light to the world around us, pointing them to the source of truth, that they may be FREE!
Freedom
James Russell Lowell
They are slaves who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak;
Thy are slaves who will not choose
Hatred, scoffing and abuse,
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must think.
They are slaves who dare not be
In the right with two or three.
(we mustn't be afraid of truth, truth shall set you free.)
