Reb Moshe Leib of Sassar

Not a single commandment remained to be fulfilled,
so upon your passing away, you neglect the rapture
of heaven to rupture hell.  You reject your leave
before all bondage is broken, all bound are freed.

How dare anyone say it did not happen, just that way?
Are not all free who but see the coming of the spirit
from beginning to end?
