All you need is a book . . . .
Written by: Vivian Badoni
You just need a book
When the world is in a riot and
The noise is too much.
Sometimes you need a book
To get away from all the jazz.
To take you to your fantasy
Of swords, dragons and spells;
Or maybe a future from this hysteria
With whizzing cars and
Far, far away planets
Not yet discovered.
To the conquistadors
Of foreign countries, while the natives defend
Their homeland against
The thunder sticks and iron hides.
When you need a pick me up,
Grab a book for that ancient wisdom from
Lost souls and our elders keen sight
Of a clear path to lead you to
a vast universe of knowledge.
Sometimes a book is all you need to just relax,
On your bed and ease your cramped mind
As your eyes droop to a close.
All you need is a book to free your mind.
