Jewish books are for the Jews, And Jew Messiahs too.
But if you’re not of Jewish blood, How can they be for you?
To make an Idol of a book, Is poison for the brain;
A dying God upon a cross
Is reason gone insane.
Beware of all the Holy books And all the creeds and schools,
And every law that man has made And all the golden rules.
‘Laws’ and ‘rules’ imposed on you From days of old renown,
Are not intended for your ‘good’ But for your crushing down.
Then dare to rend the chains that bind And to yourself be true,
Dare to liberate your mind, From all things, old and new.

One reply on “Might is right, 17”
I have never read MIGHT IS RIGHT. These poetic lines are very wise. Is it true that Ragnar Redbeard was truly Jack London?
