How would I my obsession feed
When there are no good books left to read
*
Would books be heavily censored and toned down
Would the content be pushing an agenda all around
Would books be devoid of provocative thought
Would rhetoric be watered down, diluted a lot?
Everything worthy of being said
Is controversial, should not be read
By readers perceptive enough
To develop opinions on issues tough
Opinion that question the narrative dominant
To suppress that possibility would be the intent
*
Where would censorship of books end
Would writers, publishers, librarians have to bend
To fall in line with the given narrative
Would people eventually not be able to give
Their honest opinions in publication
How would there be free speech in the nation?
Characters that they can identify with, some children might not find
How would that be good for their impressionable minds?
*
I hope I’ve just let my imagination run wild and in reality
Censorship of books to this extent we would never see…
Passion...unbridled
