Books (A Poem)

Books, our greatest companions

What more do we need to become champions?

But we are lost in the oblivion

That their contents are superior to some captions.


Books, you are here to revive the reading culture

So lost has it been that we’ve also lost our nature

To pick a book and clear our horrors

And relieve our generation of future terrors


To this extent, I commend your previous wonders

I cannot tell of the lives you’ve changed so far

And even of the lives you’ve made very bad

But all the same, you’ve left our world an indelible mark


Curious as we are, we run to you

We peruse you even more than we do the moon

Our searchlight is always on like blue

To unravel the mysteries that we can find in you


Till this day, I will always love books

Because they have proven their worth that they are able

To feed me more than even the cooks

But one book is always special and that’s the Bible.
