Analysis of To read



After years of cage and tears Hunger, death and fears

Million dollar desires
 walking away slowly
 as if a ghost loosing equilibrium
 Dead leafs now with green hopes
 staring impassively at the demon
 changing their ridiculous look
 sparkling with excitement
 to read real life books
