Banned the Book, the Roman Catholics did
Control of thought, we are never rid
On an European tarmac, ideas sacked, fires lit
Biting the bit, we observe powers vanity
Know that we aren't to be told, be bold,
Read moldy books as the liars fold, your knowledge gold
Surpassing the old. Do not hide in the cold refuge of ignorance
Enjoy the suspense! Break down every sentence and reissue an order,
“Do as your told,” these masters say because they have nothing
We are already free, Jesus made us to be, so listen to me!
Books are to be read! Red, my eyes see as I deform into Hyde
Hiding the past? A blast comes fast as we are up to the task.
Fought Fascist thought police since the days of Pope One,
We will never be done so keep the ammo in the guns and read for fun
And read different thoughts, different talk about stuff you don't see, it will alleviate the loneliness When surrounded by stupidity
Be aware, the Good Samaritan was holier than those who chose not to see
The Samaritan didn't even believe
But was closer to God than he who dropped to knee daily in reverence for power
As they let hours pass before right was done. Don't be won over by those who don't let you see the whole picture, it won't fix your soul to be ignorant and conniving,
Only denying the blinding temptation to sin, given knowledge of it is power
Awareness through experience, can we fight censorship of thought
Read all the books you can until you have bought yourself enlightenment
And off I excitedly went knowing I did God's work because I heard that seeking is all that's needed considering where all the roads are leading.
Please read more.
