The Reader.

The Reader

I would like to start out my poem by saying

That I am a reader.

All readers lead a revolt against the government,

By being informed about the world around them.

Reading helps you learn how to think.

Even educated people cannot read.

If you cannot read, you will not be able to read

Resumes.

Many bosses are illiterate.

Many workers are illiterate.

Let’s focus on the goal of disarray; by becoming

A more kindly society that is focused on kindness

And justice.

Many judges cannot read, either, and then they end

Up throwing innocent black men in jail;

They end up throwing abused wives in jail;

They end up throwing people like Nelson Mandela in jail.

When you learn how to read, a world opens up to you

That you have not perceived before; the kindness of

Friendship, the kindness of learning things from a

Different perspective.

Like I said…workers cannot spell, which can cause

People to make the same mistakes over and over

Again, and that will lead to more deaths and even

More mistakes, which could cause the entire universe

To collapse.

What is the matter with you when you can’t read?!
