Analysis of A book
Uhunoma Leonard Iyahen 1986 (United States)
A book like a weapon
Can destroy a people it comes upon, if its teachings are wrong .
A book like a venom
Can get in the body when sent
Causing damage, If its born
from a serpent.
A book poisoned when fed upon
Leads the grave to quickly come.
A book with a mixture of both good and bad is to be quickly sorted out
Hence people pick a path .
A book when good then teaches goodness and shines like a moon
Illuminating every pathway,
A book when true , takes you through every pathway meant to help you get through .
A book and its lies , will never take you places. Its feed the readers with lies so right in their own eyes.
