In Support Of Curiosity



What act is being prevented to mean.
When people attempt to censor and ban,
Reality as is to be easily available.
And for anyone today,
Download over the internet.
Anything they wish within seconds to be seen.

To ban books not to read,
In libraries and schools to delude the truth.
To promote the expansion of fiction.
With a doing to refuse to reject,
What children already know...
Is an excuse to keep,
Their minds unused to limit them.
For parents heard to make excuses to accuse,
Them becoming indoctrinated...
To a way of life.
Created to restrict to a conformity outdated.
Only invites more curiosity than not.
And this adventure to explore,
Opens to leave closed doors behind.

What is going on in the minds,
Of the ones who believe...
That an awakening consciousness,
Is limited to books to read?
This may be true,
For those looking at reality...
From the inside of their comfort zones.
Yet...
It is outside where the World,
Is changing on a daily basis to evolve.
And this will not be stopped.
With ignorance involved to allow continued!

And this is not a prophesy.
But the facts of life to observe and witness,
Moving forward.
Regardless who resents to prevent it done.
From one decade to the next.
And each generation to come and go,
Thereafter!
