The Book Won't Read Itself.

They changed our culture; We said its okay. They changed our language; We said its okay. They changed our government; We said its okay. They changed our food; We said its okay. They changed our Education; We said its okay. We told them; we are capable; They said its okay. We tagged them to be monsters; They said they are. We asked them to leave; They left. They told us; we shall surely beg them one day; We said it was a lie. They told us; we shall look upon them for survival; We said they were joking. They told us; Some of us will betray us; We told them we are united. They told us to think; We said we reason. 

Indeed, we reason! For the ruins of our land. For the vague of our plans and for our crippled span. This our generation is crippled for the love of luxuries. It is lame for the search of wealth. It is blind for the lack of reasoning. Students hate books yet they love brooks. They hate reading yet they love streaming. They put pleasures in times of leisure forgetting that treasures always features the adventures of the future. The minds of every generation determines the absolutism of how they would steer their affairs when the mantle is handed over to them. Our generation lacks wisdom for that matter we shall still hang on corruption, bigotry, insanity, negligence and ignorance. Our libraries where we think there is no wisdom are being closed everyday. Inside our books are words which tarnishes the image of our thinking for good. We don't read; We only read for exams. We don't write; We only write for grades. We don't search; We only search for job. We don't explore; We only explore for pleasures. Our minds are crooked inside a hooked rook with spoof. Book lovers are tagged book longs; for the amusement of the stupids. Our chapters are closed yet we hunt for ill-ideas not from those who sees our degradation but from the perpetrators of our ruins. For we don't know; that they rule for us to bull in the school of fools. 

The pain we reign has never rain anywhere in their terrain. The books we burn are the artifacts of their decoration. The libraries we look with white eyes; They look at them with red eyes. It's time, my fellow students, that we start reading. Let's read to challenge, let' read to change our mindsets. Let's read to harbor ideas; let's read to think, to reason and practice. Let's read to bring innovations to our own social dispensation. Our ill-politics can be in a good shape only when we read to better structures. Our Education is dying because we read without implying. Books are our only hope
for now.
