Jewish books are for the Jew,

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 thing , old and new.

Always think your own thought,

All other thoughts reject;

Learn to use your own brain

And boldly stand erect.
