Do Not Seek Freedom Elsewhere Than Within

Do not seek freedom elsewhere than within
For within hate's rapture we're robbed of time
Fear, the mind's Great Jailer... we must rescind

Only through love... can humanity win 
Flee the clutches of greed, all thoughts lupine
Do not seek freedom elsewhere than within

Possessiveness, such a repellent sin
Freedom thwarted by labelling it "mine"
Fear, the mind's Great Jailer... we must rescind
 
Temper false hedonism, heed discipline 

Materialism, a cage most vulpine 

Do not seek freedom elsewhere than within

Paranoia, our brain's turbulent jinn 
A soul at peace, a gift amaranthine
Fear, the mind's Great Jailer... we must rescind
 
In compassion's drought, we're all bedouin
The key to our shackles... to be now kind 
Do not seek freedom elsewhere than within
Fear, the mind's Great Jailer... we must rescind
