WTFOW5: Day 4: A World Like That

This poem is dedicated to Saving Sould

What would have happened?

If I was ever told as a kid that

books were only for the rich?

If every penny I stealthily hid only to buy books

when everyone else needed food to survive?

To the reader in me*,

if there were no free books?

To the writer in me,

if only I had not read and framed everything

with the best companion,

the books I read in the library,

my first place where I learnt to sit and think!

To the power of imagination in me,

if I had not sat down and read various genres?

To the creator in me,

If I had not spent hours after hours

in the libraries

,

feeling secure about my thoughts

and continued to write?

To the viewer in me who is excited

to read and find similarities and enjoy the flow of writing,

To all the times when I had no hope that

I could ever keep a step forward in my life

and there was a book that God showed me

as a path and the courage to keep that step forward?

To all the thoughts and ideas,

had I not written and shared with all people I know

also helped me know myself better than ever!

To all the souls who have found solace in the books?

To the world around me,

which I have learnt to view from every perspective

with the help of books.

To the explorer in me,

if there were no libraries which was more like talking to God

and enjoying the conversations,

To the soul searcher in me,

whose repeated thoughts of negativity hindered the flow within me,

courage, strength and motivation is what

I got from books

and pushed me forward!

To the ability to see the positive side

in most critical situations

and how I learned to analyze situations?

To all the knowledge in me from learning?

The way of Life it has taught me?

To my long stares at the shelves of the school library

to know what genre means and

why everything follows a particular order!

To be with my best companion

without any restrictions,

If I had no way to express all that I learnt?

To the dreamer in me, who has always hoped for the best

and understood that struggle is necessary

to achieve the goals of our life!

To the merriment it brings

to be one with the books

and took us back to the

once lived generations,

To know right from wrong,

To even know the laws you guys frame now!

DEAD…

Closing libraries means demolishing future growth and generations,

Closing libraries is slaving the future and getting closer to doomsday,
Our history is from the books we have seen!

Our present is with the dreams we dream and our future lies in the fulfilled dreams!

There is no past, present or future without books!

This will bring a revolution that people keen on closing libraries will have to face!

Trying to kill people is war, but trying to kill the thirst for knowledge is equivalent to committing a sin to every single being on this earth, that never has moksha!

Me* here indicates the multiple personalities in each human being which has helped human stay sane for years and generations!
