So,
this is how
it starts in books
they burn
or ban books
in books
that imagine
a world
that burns
or bans books
it starts there
with books that dare
to say this is how it is
or this is how it was
or this is how it could be
and if you
read books
you will know
from books
that this is
how it ends
so, this is how
it starts#sunday #poetry #poetsofmastodon #PessimismIsForLightweights #SalenaGodden #books
