Potent Letters

They agreed and said;
"Keep the books away from him",
In his ignorance,
he enthrones us kings.

Like light turned off,
gives way to darkness;
Knowledge concealed,
gives birth to blindness.

A mystery it is,
how words on leaves,
could help to heal
and make the blind see

Knowledge is power!
it equips the ignorant.
Book empowers,
and makes him relevant.
