The library is the difference

Found to what is bound

Books opened to inquisitive minds

In everyday’s sound

Rich and poor

Thumbed

And flipping through the pages

Conversations

Engaged us

Profound are the chasms of corruption

In everyone’s society

Found this eruption

Compelling us to a path for change

Me

Like the many who came before

Broken

To the edges of poverty

Hope it don’t swallow me

With all its atrocities

I more than hope

I’m putting in the work

For the Axiom

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Is only partial

found me

in the Library

Hour after hour

Ascertaining facts

To a Soul who has

All the necessary life experiences

To incorporate Practical Application

So I visit the wisdom

Of Souls Past and Present

Librarian’s guidance

Orchestrated by my

Well thought out Question

voluminous facts

Cogitated

in my unwavering mind

Succinctly moves to my flow

Life’s essence amidst other thinkers

No matter the Socioeconomic nor Ethnicity

Time to put on the blinkers

Moved this way and that way

Find me

Researching

To free myself

As well as the masses

From

Stereotypes

Or becoming asses

By movement of hype

formed misconceptions

Of the beguiled mind

By deception

On the front

And behind the lines

Diabolical agendas

Aggrandized

Trying to disenfranchise

Critical thinkers

Reductio Ad Absurdum

Deductive reasoning

to the ends of logic

For every aspect of life

For every season

dare to think for yourself

Rather than pouring it into a drink

Instead

Let us make change

The library is the difference
