Hitler destroyed books; Trump has taken money from libraries and tried to dictate reading materials in schools. This is a very brief summation of one aspect of controlling social groups, but can be summed up further by stating that 'knowledge is power'.
Travel the world from a chair
A
book holds a story that will never die,
it
is there to entertain forever.
The
story is your transport to times gone by,
or
a rocket hurtling towards the future.
The
people inside are fallible like you,
but
with help may foil the danger,
or
follow a path taken by few,
and
perhaps find a babe in a manger!
You
may travel the wide world from your
chair,
and
never leave this wonderful land.
Change
your colour or perm your hair,
without
the risk of wearing a new brand.
The
sky’s the limit every time you try
the
same story read a dozen times.
Let
your imagination be free and fly,
in
the words of stories and of rhymes.
