A Poem

From January to December 

We remember 

Every yearning thought wanting to be heard

Every emotion 

Every word 

They burn them

Hide them 

Ban them 

Now they feed them to the machines

In the name of saving society 

But we keep their scared knowledge 

From those who lied

The perpetrators of humanities cultural genocide 

Private libraries keeping the world alive
