It's always worrying that we are imprisoned by lack of knowledge - if only we could understand the Redeemer and apply the principles he taught!

I like the analogy in this poem. It makes us think. Nicely done.

You also taught me a new word. I had heard of 'casement' before but wasn't sure what it meant. When I looked it up, I discovered that it was a window, hinged to open either at the bottom or the side. Thanks for the educational element of your poems! Word Origin and History for case-ment n. type of hinged sash-window that swings open like doors, early 15c., hollow molding, probably a shortening of Old French dialectal enchassement window frame (Modern French enchâssement) , from en- in, prefix forming verbs, + casse case, frame (see case (n.2)) + -ment. Or possibly from Anglo-Latin cassementum, from casse. The window sense is from 1550s in English. Old folk etymology tended to make it gazement.

Wow! Great poem! Good rhyme scheme and great theme, and so very true. Congratulations on a job well done!
