the opposite of power

state-God,
please give me
room to breath,
under stress,
duty bound
to Christian
tradition, slave
morality
universality
allows me
no freedom
other than in thought;
but Kant took this
freedom away.
We must obey;
but here I defy
Obedience: only
through tradition
can one overcome
obedience to tradition,
or else, defiance
is revolt
without progress
without hope
without brains.
